Where the OLE DB functionname differs from the SAS function name, the OLE DB name appears in parentheses.For more information, see “Passing Functions to the DBMS Using PROC SQL” on page42.DAYDTEXTDAYDTEXTMONTHDTEXTYEARDTEXTWEEKDAYHOURMINUTEMONTHSECONDWEEKDAYYEARSQL_FUNCTIONS= ALL allows for SAS functions that have slightly differentbehavior from corresponding database functions that are passed down to the database.Only when SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL can the SAS/ACCESS engine also pass these SASSQL functions to OLE DB. Due to incompatibility in date and time functions betweenOLE DB and SAS, OLE DB might not process them correctly. Check your results todetermine whether these functions are working as expected.ABSARCOS (ACOS)ARSIN (ASIN)ATANAVGBYTE
