Hi,
Changing date formats are so confusing!
I would like help changing a DOB format that is a SAS date, (e.g. 17673) to a meaningful date such as date10.
Thank you!
data _null_;
date= 17673;
date1=put(date,date9.);
date2=date;
format date2 date9.;
put _all_;
run;
data encounterdate;
set fy14merge;
dob1=input(dob,???);
format dob1 date10.;
run;
THis is the code I am trying to use...but not sure what to put in the ??? if I am working with a SAS date (e.g. 19632)
Thank you!

Try the above. Also, please take the time to format your code properly.
You don't need input unless the value is a character and it seems to be a number.
