I have a character variable internship_date in the following format (20000130) and would like to get the week days?
Any ideas? Thanks
First, convert the character variable to a SAS date:
internship_date_d = input(internship_date,yymmdd8.);
Then, either use the weekday() function to obtain a number (0..6) that identifies the weekday, or use the weekday. format to display teh same number.
Or use the downame. format to display the English names of the weekdays.
