Hello, I am trying to import from a csv file and the source format of a date variable is: 1994 04 11 00:00:00

 

This is piece of the program I am using. It was working fine before there was change in the system default for the format:

 

input
ID :10.
Date : DATE12.

Thanks in advance.

try YYMMDD10. for an informat.

 

Or to minimize future issues use an informat statement:

 

informat date anydtdte32. ;

and don't have the format on the input.
