SAS Notes V6-DATASOURCE-E749
Using a year greater than 2000 on RANGE statement causes ERROR


Using any year greater than 2000 on the RANGE statement in PROC DATASOURCE results in the following error:

  ERROR: The parameter value 2xxx is not within the required range of
  1 and 2000.

A workaround is to use the FROM specification, omitting the TO specification so that output observations end with the maximum date for which data are available. For example, instead of:

         RANGE FROM 1996 TO 2001;

specify:

         RANGE FROM 1996;

THIS IS A YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE.
