Hi,
I want to extarct timestamp (Time_var) from sas Date_time. The format of datetime is 11-07-2015 11:46:02
So, I used the following code which is not working. I doubt that the space between the date and time is causing the error.
Time_var=timepart(Date_time);
The timepart() function extracts the time from a SAS datetime value, which must be a number containing the seconds starting at 01jan1960:00:00:00.
If your date_time is of type character, this won't work.
You must convert first:
data _null_;
x1 = '11-07-2015 11:46:02';
x2 = input(x1,anydtdtm19.);
x3 = timepart(x2);
format x2 datetime19. x3 time8.;
put _all_;
run;
Log:
16 data _null_; 17 x1 = '11-07-2015 11:46:02'; 18 x2 = input(x1,anydtdtm19.); 19 x3 = timepart(x2); 20 format x2 datetime19. x3 time8.; 21 put _all_; 22 run; x1=11-07-2015 11:46:02 x2=11JUL2015:11:46:02 x3=11:46:02 _ERROR_=0 _N_=1
