Problem Note 18400: Different column Format is given when using ORDER BY and a date literal
within a SELECT statement using the Sybase engine
A different column format is given when using an ORDER BY clause and a
date literal within a SELECT statement with SAS/ACCESS® Interface to
Sybase. When using a datetime, date or time literal with PROC SQL,
implicit SQL Pass-Through is used and is not using the CONVERT function
before sending the value to the database, therefore giving a different
format.
An example of this is included below:
libname tgm_data sybase user=newuser pw=newpwd;
%let datum='24Apr2006'd;
proc sql;
create table x as
select &datum as zeit_dat,
* from tgm_data.class
order by sex;
create table z as
select &datum as zeit_dat,
* from tgm_data.class;
quit;
