AFTER= option not honoring YEARCUTOFF= option using UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD


When using SAS/CONNECT's PROC UPLOAD or PROC DOWNLOAD to transfer catalogs with the AFTER= and YEARCUTOFF= options specified, an error may occur and the catalogs may not get transferred. The error will occur if the YEARCUTOFF= option has been set to 2000. For example:

OPTIONS YEARCUTOFF=2000; PROC UPLOAD INCAT=<catalog> OUTCAT=<catalog> AFTER='01JAN1900'd; RUN;

OPTIONS YEARCUTOFF=2000; PROC UPLOAD INCAT=<catalog> OUTCAT=<catalog> AFTER='01JAN2000'd; RUN;

OPTIONS YEARCUTOFF=1890; PROC UPLOAD INCAT=<catalog> OUTCAT=<catalog> AFTER='01JAN1900'd; RUN;

The first and second PROC UPLOAD's work. The last code still assumes the YEARCUTOFF to be 2000 and fails.

THIS IS A YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE.
