Hi,
I have a macro variable _mydate in the sasdate format, is there anyway to convert it to data9. foramt?
For example,
%let _mydate = 20399;
I want it to be
&_mydate =07NOV2015
Thanks!
How are you creating the date, is there an option to create it formatted in the first place?
%let date = %sysfunc(today(), date9.);
%put &date.;
%let _mydate = %sysfunc(putn(20399, date9.));
%put &_mydate;
