/** @file @brief Returns E8601DT26.6 if compatible else DATETIME19.3 @details Per our experience in [Data Controller for SAS] (https://datacontroller.io) deployments, the E8601DT26.6 datetime format has the widest support when it comes to pass-through SQL queries. However, it is not supported in WPS or early versions of SAS 9 (M3 and below).
