In addition, when the LIBNAME statement contains the SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL option, then four additional functions are passed, even though they do not return the same results as SAS.
  • DATEPART

  • TODAY

Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

This fix should enable these functions to be passed in SAS 9.1.3.
