When you load a Parquet file that contains a date in the DATETIME24.3 format, the SAS^® Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) procedure loads the file successfully. However, the DATETIME24.3 format is lost and converted to the BEST format in the resulting CAS data. The problem occurs under the following conditions:

• You use the PROC CASUTIL VARS= option to load a few of the columns in the data.
• You apply the DATETIME24.3 format to one of the columns.

When you load all the data, the problem does not occur.
