Hi,
How can I make a variable to store a particular date in SAS. My code looks like this but it does not work.
data derived._01_cohort1_esrd ;
set derived._01_cohort1_codes;
by enrolid index_date ;
if first.enrolid ;
format eos mmddyy10. ;
eos = '09/30/2017' ;
run ;/*13893 */
It shows error because the format and value of eos variable are of different types - fomrat is numeric and variable is character . How can i save 09/30/2017 as eos value ?
eos = '30SEP2017'D;
or
eos = input('09/30/2017',mmddyy10.);
