Problem Note 50438: The SOURCE procedure produces an incorrect partitioned data set (PDS) creation date
When you run PROC SOURCE, the procedure output displays the date that you ran PROC SOURCE as the PDS creation date, not the actual date that the PDS was created. For example, when you look at the data set with the Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF), you might see a creation date similar to the following:
Data Set Name . . . . :ABCDEF.TEST.TEST
General Data Current Allocation
Management class . . : **None** Allocated tracks . : 1
Storage class . . . : **None** Allocated extents . : 1
Volume serial . . . : USRD05
Device type . . . . : 3390
Data class . . . . . : **None**
Organization . . . : PO Current Utilization
Record format . . . : FB Used tracks . . . . : 1
Record length . . . : 132 Used extents . . . : 1
Block size . . . . : 1320
1st extent tracks . : 1
Secondary tracks . : 2 Dates
Data set name type : PDS Creation date . . . : 2010/06/25
Referenced date . . : 2013/07/10
Expiration date . . : ***None***
But when you run PROC SOURCE on this data set, the creation date is shown as the same day that PROC SOURCE was executed.
filename indd 'ABCDEF.TEST.TEST' disp=shr;
filename out 'ABCDEF.TEST2.TEST2' disp=new;
proc source indd=indd outdd=out;
select test;
run;
NOTE: INDD=INDD data set is :
Dsname=ABCDEF.TEST.TEST,
Unit=3390,Volume=USRD05,Disp=SHR,Blksize=1320,
Lrecl=132,Recfm=FB,Creation=2013/07/10.
NOTE: OUTDD=OUT data set is :
Dsname=ABCDEF.TEST2.TEST2,
Unit=3390,Volume=SCRD01,Disp=NEW,Blksize=27984,
Lrecl=132,Recfm=FB,Creation=2013/07/10.
A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release.
