Then go @Reeza's route
data table1;
set table;
format Var1 Var2 Var3 ddmmyy8.;
run;
all other vars will keep their original format (or lack of).
You can use T1.* but then you can't specify the date.
If ALL your columns are date and it's a straight select it's probably easier to use a data step.
data table1;
set table;
format _numeric_ ddmmyy8.;
run;
Another little trick I use is the FEEDBACK option. Look at the log after this submission and see the full code expanded so it's easier to modify then.
PROC SQL FEEDBACK ;
create table table1 as
Select t1.*
From work.table t1 ;
Quit ;
Would it be fair to assume that date variables include the word DATE in their name?
Then go @Reeza's route
data table1;
set table;
format Var1 Var2 Var3 ddmmyy8.;
run;
all other vars will keep their original format (or lack of).
