You need to show how you're using the date and we can then show you how to change the format.

1. Converting a character date to a SAS date: SASDateVariableName=input(yourdatevariable, anydtdte.);

2. Assign the desired format: format ASDateVariableName mmddyyD10.;

 

Other variants of that format can be found at: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000590662.htm

Well, I would never show you have to get a date with a two-digit year.  I hope this is close enough:

 

data want;

length mydate $ 11;

set have;

mydate = put(input(mydate, mmddyy10.), date11.);

run;

 

That's assuming that 03/03/2017 is actually in MMDDYY form, rather than DDMMYY form.
