I had to implement this fix:

 

tmp=put(&from.,NORDFWDX.);
from = tranwrd(tmp,'201','2019');

Nasty code, and won't  work for 2020, but it works for my case (which is to export to csv)

 


@Ullsokk 

May be better use the picture format as already proposed by @unison 

proc format;
  picture mydate(default=18)
    other='%d. %B %Y'(language=Norwegian datatype=date)
  ;
run;

data datotest;
  sep= "15SEP2019"d;
  feb= "15FEB2019"d;
  to = today();
  format sep feb to mydate.;
  output;
  stop;
run;

proc print;
run;

This looks like a bug, but I can't find this format documented anywhere. Where did you hear of it?
