Can someone help me read the DATE variable as a DATE7. format? I failed so I am just reading it as character format. The code is below. I am using SAS University Edition. Thanks.
data sasuser.amounts;
input Name $1-12 EmpID 14-18 Date $20-26 Amt 28-29;
datalines;
ANKERTON, L. 11123 08OCT16 92
ANKERTON, L. 11123 15OCT16 43
DAVIS, R. 22298 04OCT16 16
MASTERS, T. 33351 13OCT16 18
MASTERS, T. 33351 27
THOMAS, A. 21OCT16 15
WOLMER, B. 44483

Assuming that the date always appears in columns 20-26:
input ..... @20 date date7. ...........;
You would probably want to add a FORMAT statement to print DATE in the format of your choice when displaying the data.
