SAS/ACCESS Interface to Netezza passes the following SAS functions to Netezza for processing. Where the Netezza function name differs from the SAS function name, the Netezza name appears in parentheses. For more information, see Passing Functions to the DBMS Using PROC SQL.

SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL allows for SAS functions that have slightly different behavior from corresponding database functions that are passed down to the database. Only when SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL can the SAS/ACCESS engine also pass these SAS SQL functions to Netezza. Due to incompatibility in date and time functions between Netezza and SAS, Netezza might not process them correctly. Check your results to determine whether these functions are working as expected.
| DATE (current_date) | TIMEPART (cast) |
| DATEPART (cast) | TODAY (current_date) |
| DATETIME (now) | WEEK[<SAS date value>] (date_part) |
| LENGTH | WEEK[<SAS date value>, 'U'] (date_part) |
| ROUND | WEEK[<SAS date value>, 'W'] (date_part) |
| TIME (current_time) | WEEKDAY (date_part) |
