Can anyone explain to me why I get the following results?

[art297]

Running the following code with SAS 9.1.3 m3 on a 4 processor Windows 2003 server:

data _null_;
dt="28SEP10:16:44:00.672"dt;
format dt 15.3;
put dt datetime19.2;
put dt datetime21.4;
put dt datetime22.5;
put dt datetime23.6;
put dt datetime24.7;
put dt datetime28.5;
run;

I get the following results:

28SEP10:16:44:00.67
28SEP10:16:44:00.6720
29SEP10:00:00:00.00000
29SEP10:00:00:00.000000
28SEP10:16:44:00.6719999
29SEP2010:00:00:00.00000

The code appears to work perfectly on SAS 9.1.2. Can anyone explain to me why it doesn't work on 9.1.3?

I don't see the problem on my PC. It might be a good idea to call Tech. Support for this one.
