I have a macro variable that is in date9. format

&max_date = 21may2014

I would like to change this format to mmddyy10. so it looks better in the title on the results page.

Any suggestions on this?

I have googled it but been unsuccessful in finding an answer.

Thanks

Probably not the best way, but you can use the putc function.

%let max_date=21May2014;

%put &max_date.;

%let max_date=%sysfunc(putn("&max_date"d, mmddyy10.));

%put &max_date.;
