Not sure if this is the correct sub forum? Hopefully someone can redirect me if I'm on the wrong one.
Bascially I want to know how to subset a dataset to only the records dates before 07May2017 (in that exact format). How do I do this? Is there some website where I can find documentation on this? The data type of the field is date. thanks in advance!
data want;
set have;
where date<'07May2017'd;
run;
assumption: your dates are sas date numeric variable
I recommend reading this paper: https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings15/1334-2015.pdf. It has everything a beginner needs to know about SAS dates, and then some.
PS it is the second result of a google search for "sas 9.4 date and time values". See Maxim 6.
