Problem Note 46142: ANYDTDTM informat does not read YYYYMMDD:HH:MM:SS correctly
When a value in the form of YYYYMMDD:HH:MM:SS is read into SAS with the ANYDTDTMw. informat, some values are not read and stored properly. If the month value is a single digit, the input is misinterpreted and the resulting datetime value is incorrect.
