I have a script that runs correctly in Enterprise Guide on my computer. However when I run the script overnight on a server it errors. With the block:
proc sql;
_33 The SAS System 05:28 Monday, May 20, 2019
1421
1422
1423 create table capacity_base as
1424
1425
1426 select academic_period, census_period, input(begin_time1,hhmm.) as time, COURSE_IDENTIFICATION, COURSE_REFERENCE_NUMBER,
1427 ACTUAL_ENROLLMENT, MAXIMUM_ENROLLMENT
1428 from odsstu.registration_course
1429 where census_period=&census and (academic_period>="&first_academic_period" and academic_period<="&last_academic_period")
1430 order by academic_period, COURSE_IDENTIFICATION, COURSE_REFERENCE_NUMBER;
ERROR: The informat HHMM was not found or could not be loaded.
ERROR: The informat HHMM was not found or could not be loaded.
It appears that when I run the block in Enterprise Guide that the script understands format hhmm. But when running the .sas script on the server, the server does not understand the format expression.
There is no informat HHMM
The only informat of this type is HHMMSS

Paige,
Looking at other posts it looks like the common solution is to add SS to the format. Any idea why an error or warning is not thrown with Enterprise Guide?
