Below are two similar programs I have for my project.  Even program gets the date (MM/DD/YYYY), time and sasdate from different import tables.  Program 1 works with no issues.  However, program 2, SAS EG gives me this message:

NOTE: Invalid (or missing) arguments to the DATEPART function have caused the function to return a missing value.

NOTE: Invalid (or missing) arguments to the TIMEPART function have caused the function to return a missing value.

NOTE: Invalid (or missing) arguments to the DATEPART function have caused the function to return a missing value.

Any advice?

I'm thinking you might have some missing or partial dates in the "decisions_jul_aug" table.
