problems with date informat

xoxozav_1 — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 18:33:19 GMT

Hi ,

I am quite new using SAS studio. I started this code to analyze data in a .dat file. In the input step, I used some informats and one is mmddyy10. The problem is that in the result some dates are missing. So, I would like to know what the problem is with the code that only shows some dates and others not.

I have attached a sample of the data.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for any advice.

this is the code:

Data assigment;
infile '/folders/myfolders/study2/MemberData_RuralHealth.dat' LRECL=50 MISSOVER ;
input
@1 Line 2.0
@3 Country $3.
@6 Cluster 4.0
@10 House_hn 4.0
@14 Househ_s 8.6
@22 Date mmddyy10.
@32 Bank_A 1.0
@33 FHMSIH 1.0
@34 Geo_zone 1.0
@35 BMI_w 4.0
@39 Hgb_w 3.1
@42 Anemia_w 1.0
@43 BMI_m 4.0
@47 Hgb_m 3.1
@50 Anemia_m 1.0
;
format Date mmddyy10. ;
run;
proc print data= assigment;
run;

This is the log results:

To really tell you need to post the log messages using the Insert Code icon on the forum editor. But it looks like the values it is complaining about are in DMY order instead of the MDY order you told SAS to expect. There is not any year that has 29 months in it.

Hello Tom,

That was exactly my problem, I wrote mmddyy instead of ddmmyy.

Thanks to your advice, I have solved my problem.

Thank you.
