Hi I have FL_DT in the format. I am trying to covert it to sysdate format . could you please help?
|
Is FL_DT a string or a numeric variable containing a sas-datetime-value?
data bob;
FL_DT = '02JUN2018:00.00.00'dt;
FL_Date = datepart(FL_DT);
format FL_DT datetime. FL_Date date9.;
run;
Use the datepart() function to extract the date from the datetime value. After doing that, you can apply the date9. format.

it's a text variable? if so, maybe:
format newdate date9.;
day=input(substr(olddate,1,2),2.);
monthtxt=substr(olddate,4,3);
if monthtxt ne '' then month=month(input("01"||substr(monthtxt,1,3)||"2000",date9.));
year=input(substr(olddate,8,4),4.);
if day ne . and month ne . and year ne . then newdate=mdy(month,day,year);
