Hi

To convert a date string to a number representing a SAS date use a informat. Which informat to use depends on the form of the date string you have.

You could try:
SASDateVar=input(DateStringVar,anydtdte.);

Age in days would then be:
Age=today() - SASDateVar;

If you have to calculate the age based on a year with 360 days then look up function DATDIF() in the Base SAS documentation.
