Hi,
I have a numeric date variable date and numeric time variable time, if I combine them using the following code,
datetime = put(dhms(date,0,0,time),DATETIME.);
it returns a character datetime, for example, 01JAN18:00:01:00.
May I ask is there any method to combine into a numeric datetime ?
Thanks
Do not use PUT Function and do like this
data have;
format t time. dt date9. datetime datetime.;
dt='01jan18'd;
t='00:01't;
datetime=dhms(dt,0,0,t);
run;
Thanks!
remove the put and keep it numeric just with dhms
