In SAS Marketing Automation 6.3, custom details and treatments can no longer use relative dates (for example, Tomorrow).

Any relative dates that are used in SAS Marketing Automation 6.1_M1 migrate to SAS Marketing Automation 6.3 and remain usable, although the static date is displayed. For example, you have a custom detail with a relative date of Tomorrow. After migration, the relative date shows what appears to be a fixed date value (for example, May 21, 2014). However, the system holds a relative date, and two days later May 23, 2014 is displayed in the field.

The migrated relative dates remain effective until you attempt to change the value. After a change is made, the date becomes fixed, as custom detail relative dates are no longer available in SAS Marketing Automation 6.3.

Notes:

• For information about relative dates that are used in a SAS^® Stored Process custom node, see SAS Note 55999, "Relative dates or date ranges in custom stored processes do not work in SAS^® Customer Intelligence 6.3."
• As shown in the statement below, the SAS^® Marketing Automation 6.3: User’s Guide and SAS^® Marketing Automation 6.4: User’s Guide (available at support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/ci/index.html) still reference relative dates incorrectly:
  

  Include relative dates enables you to select a date that is relative to the current date (for example, Next week).
