Incorrect output might be generated when a constant value is passed to the TO_DATE function in PROC DS2.

Correct results are generated when the constant value is assigned to a variable and passed to the TO_DATE function.

The example code below illustrates both scenarios:

proc ds2;
   ...other code ...
   method init();
      tid = _threadid_;
      da = to_date(19358);
      output;
      d = 19358;
      da = to_date(d);
      output;
   end;
   ...other code ...
quit;
