Problem Note 55332: When you export data to Teradata from a product such as SAS® Enterprise Guide®, date and datetime values do not appear in the proper format
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Teradata and you export data from a SAS product such as SAS Enterprise Guide or SAS® Enterprise Miner™, the formatting of date and datetime values is not carried over. The problem occurs because SAS date and datetime values are stored as numbers (floating-point integer values) in Teradata, instead of in a regular date format.
This formatting issue does not occur when you run SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata with Base SAS® when no solution is used.

When you export SAS date and datetime values to Teradata, the dates are stored as floating-point integers rather than as actual dates. The problem occurs when you run SAS/ACCESS® Interface to Teradata in SAS Enterprise Guide and other solutions.
