Assuming that you already have read this:

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/acreldb/69580/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0v7nh4ylrihtin1te...

TMESTAMP(0) is supported as DATETIME19. in SAS.

If you have a time zone on the column, it will be read as CHAR in SAS. Perhaps this is the case?

 proc sql;

 connect to teradata (user=&user password=&pwd mode=teradata);

create table mysas.data1 as

select * from connection to teradata(

 

/**********approaches i used so far****/  

select employee_id , registration_date format =timestamp19.); fail

select employee_id , cast(registration_date as mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss.); fail

 disconnect to teradata;

 quit;
