Extract year from a date

Hope18 — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 21:39:17 GMT

I would like to extract the only year from the date as a new variable how do I write the program?

It depends, but usually you would use a data step and the YEAR() function for starters.

You can run the example below.

data year_demo;
set sashelp.stocks;
year = year(date);
run;

If you tell us how it's stored we can give you a concrete example.
