Problem Note 20048: SAS® Marketing Automation returns an error when you use the select node to query an aggregated date
 |  |  |  |  |
When you query an aggregate date, SAS® Marketing Automation cannot successfully execute the following syntax in the SQL HAVING clause it generates:
HAVING MAX( dateColumn ) > today() - 1000
Without the aggregate function MAX, SAS/ACCESS® engines correctly interpret "today() - 1000" as a date. When you add the MAX function, however, SAS/ACCESS engines interpret "today() - 1000" as a number and sends it to the database as a numeric value instead of a date value.
This problem occurs in Teradata, Oracle, DB2 and any non-SAS engine that is leveraged by SAS Marketing Automation.
