Hi,
I am facing problem in julian date. when i give "2007001" as julian date, it gives "02JAN" for Date5. format. But i need the output as "01JAN" for "2007001".
Please help me to resolve this ASAP. I gave my code and output.

Data _null_;
informat k julian7.;
input julian_date julian7.;
k=2007001;
put julian_date date9.;
put "K=" k date9.;
datalines;
2007001
2008001
run;

output:-
01JAN2007
K=26DEC7454
01JAN2008
K=26DEC7454

why its working differently for datalines and assigment date value. But i need the same output for assigment date value as dataline date value. Please help me.

Thanks,

SAS is assuming that the date you are trying to represent - 2007001 - is a numeric value for the number of days past 01Jan1960. In this case 2,007,001 days. Try using the datejul function. This will give you your desired results.

k=datejul(2007001);
