Hi, does anyone have a list of Date formats at all please?
As an example I have %let date=201606 so I will have yymmn6. but I don't have any others.
Many Thanks
Steve
Do note, there were formats added for version 9, ISO ones for instance. You would be better looking at a later version's webpage:

For the OP: Putting dates in macro variables is never a good idea. You may think that text string is a date format, it is not, it is purely text. Any opertaion on it would need bth conversion, and checking to to make sure its correct, 3 times the effort, no benefit.
Thanks RW9!
Here are links to the online SAS 9.4 doc for formats by category, and for informats by category.
