A syntax issue exists within the fcf_wl_wchk_transform.sas macro, which is used to process World-Check database information in both SAS^® Anti-Money Laundering 6.3 and SAS^® Anti-Money Laundering 6.3 Maintenance 1. The macro code contains incorrect syntax in the assignment statements that help convert the date_of_birth information for watch-list entities.

The macro is found in this location:

• UNIX: SASHOME/SASFoundation/9.4/ucmacros/antimnycmn
• Windows: SASHOME\SASFoundation\9.4\antimnycmn\ucmacros 

The suggested code correction is listed below. (See the lines in bold.)

Original Code

Suggested Code Revision

if index(dob,'/00') then do;
   date_of_birth=.;
   year_of_birth=input(kscan(dob,1,'/'),best32.);
end;
/* date_of_birth and year_of_birth available */
else if not index(dob,'/00') then do;
  date_of_birth=input(dob,??yymmdd10.);
  if not missing(date_of_birth) then do;
    date_of_birth=dhms(date_of_birth,00,00,00);
    year_of_birth=year(datepart(date_of_birth));
  end;
end;
