Hot Fix I9R046 resolves the issue of the SAS^® log not indicating a problem with any INVALID DATA messages, as described in SAS Note 68071, "The ANYDTDTMw. informat does not read a datetime value with trailing characters correctly in the SAS^® 9.4M4 (TS1M4) release and in later releases."  However, after you have applied Hot Fix I9R046, a missing datetime value returns an INVALID DATA message to the SAS log when using the ANYDTDTM. informat.
