When the informat ANYDTDTE determines that a value can't be valid (not for MMDDYY, YYMMDD, or DDMMYY), the BEST informat is being used. This results in the original date value being represented as a SAS date.

In this example, '010001' can't be a valid date value. Instead of producing an 'invalid data' message and setting the DOB variable to missing, DOB is set to 10001. When the variable is formatted with the MMDDYY10. format, the result is 5/20/1987.

   data a;
     dob=input("010001",anydtdte6.);
     put dob mmddyy10.;
   run;
