Hi All,

 

I'm relatively new to SAS programming having had experience with MSSQL, MySQL mostly.

 

I am trying to get the month as a string from a date in the format 'mm'.

For example: 01JAN2017 would result in '01'. 01FEB2017 would result in '02' etc.

I need the preceding 0 for months 1-9

 

I have been looking at PUT function(?) to do this but cannot find a format that is going to do what I need it to do.

 

Anyone have any solution or ideas to point me in the right direction?
