Problem Note 53205: The NLDATE informat does not read values containing uppercase letters correctly
The NLDATEw.d informat might not read date values correctly for some locale settings when the date contains uppercase letters. The resulting date variable might contain a missing value.
The input string for the NLDATEw.d informat should be consistent with what is expected for each locale. Otherwise, the input is not read correctly by the informat.
There is currently no circumvention for this problem.
