How to convert dates from Gregorian to Solar Hijri calendar

aminkarimid — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 14:00:32 GMT

Hello everybody;

I want to convert the gregorian date to solar Hijri calendar (Iranian calendars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). I found a program in previous posts which was written by @art297 and it is awesome to convert solar Hijri to Gregorian calendar as shown below:

data ctrl (keep=fmtname type start label);
  informat gdates $31.;
  infile cards dlm=',';
  input _pyear $ gdates &;
  retain fmtname 'pdate' type 'j';
  leap=index(_pyear,'*');
  pyear=input(compress(_pyear,'*'),12.);
  bday=input(scan(gdates,1,'.'),12.);
  byear=input(scan(gdates,3),12.);
  bmonth=3;
  if _n_ eq 1 then label=mdy(bmonth,bday,byear)-1;
  do pmonth=1 to 12;
    if pmonth le 6 then eday=31;
    else if pmonth le 11 then eday=30;
    else if leap then eday=30;
    else eday=29;
    do pday=1 to eday;
      label+1;
      start=catx('-',pyear,put(pmonth,z2.),put(pday,z2.));
      output;
    end;
  end;

Now, I need a program to reverse this procedure and convert Gregorian to Solar Hijri calendar.

Would anybody please tell me how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Reusing @art297 's table, this may do what you want:


data CTRL2(drop=LABEL rename=(START=LABEL IN=START ));
  set CTRL(drop=FMTNAME);
  FMTNAME = 'greg2sh';
  TYPE    = 'C';
  IN      = vvalue(LABEL);
run;

proc format cntlin=CTRL2; run;

data SAMPLEDATA_2;
  set SAMPLEDATA_1;
  SHDATE=put(vvalue(TRD_EVENT_DT),greg2sh.);
run;

Thanks @ChrisNZ;
But this code regenerates the date variable (TRD_EVENT_DT) with same values. For exmaple: 24MAR2008 is become 24MAR2008 again.

what should it return?

Re: How to convert dates from Gregorian to Solar Hijri calendar

Your code generates Gregorian to Gregorian calendar. I ran your code using my data which I posted here, and there is no converting between these two calendars.

I know nothing of the Solar Hijri calendar and I don't know you data either.

My code sample works as expected and creates Solar Hijri dates.

Can you adapt it to your data?

No, I cannot;
I use codes and data of this post. However, it doesn't work.
