Robert:

Your YEARCUTOFF must be specified as 1900. Check it with the following:

PROC OPTIONS OPTION=YEARCUTOFF; RUN;

Set it to something reasonable using the following:

OPTIONS YEARCUTOFF=1930;

If the option is set correctly, the year will show up as 2000.

When using the input function to convert a string date with a two digit year I.E. Macro Varible &SYSDATE the year will come up as 1900. This can also occur on any data files with two digit years.
