Two date as:
CLCL_PAID_DT=22NOV2017:00:00:00.000
CLCL_RECD_DT =12NOV2017:00:00:00.000
My code:
INTCK('DAY',t1.CLCL_PAID_DT,t1.CLCL_RECD_DT,'C') AS Age1,
DATDIF(t1.CLCL_PAID_DT,t1.CLCL_RECD_DT,'act/act') AS Age
but both without value. Why
In SAS what you show is a DATETIME, not a DATE. This is a critical difference as dates use numbers of days as the interval and datetimes are numbers of seconds. Due to a number of issues the range of date values that work with the various functions are limited to dates before the year 20,000. Most datetimes, when treated as dates without conversion, vastly exceed that range.
Hence the options of the DTDay, DTMONTH and DTYear functions to address the increments of datetimes instead of dates so the proper conversion is used.
OR explicitly use the DATEPART of a datetime value.
I think the interval is DTDAY or DAYDT when dealing with date times?

Thank you,
INTCK('DTDAY',CLCL_RECD_DT,CLCL_PAID_DT)
works.
