data have;
yearmonth='200801';

What is the best way to have same variable as date?
I mean it must be shown as 200801 again, but in date format.
Thanks,
Is this what you are looking for?
yearmonth2=input(yearmonth,yymmn6.);
And use
Format yearmonth2 yymm6.;
for display.
Good point, @ballardw!
data have;
yearmonth='200801';
yearmonth2=input(yearmonth,yymmn6.);
Format yearmonth2 yymmn6.;
run;
That's OK. 🙂
data have;
yearmonth='200801';
run;
data want;
format date yymmn6. date2 mmddyy10.;
set have;
date = input(put(yearmonth,$6.),yymmn6.);
date2 = intnx('month',date,0,'end');
run;
