I have a variable name Losstime which has date with time stamp

My scenario is

if losstime in between  4pm 29jan2011 (Here 4pm inclusive) to 4pm29jan2012 (Here 4pm is exclusive ) then the variable

Policy year  = 2011/12 (Variable need to create as per the scenario)

if losstime in between  4pm 29jan2010 (Here 4pm inclusive) to 4pm29jan2011 (Here 4pm is exclusive ) then the variable

Policy year  = 2010/11 (Variable need to create as per the scenario)  etc...

Please help me with Sas and Sql code.

Is this a one time ad-hoc update?

Just use SQL update, with a set statement combined with a where clause.

Be sure that you use SAS date and datetime constants (if your data is stored correspondingly).

Hi,

Losstime variable has lakhs of records. Date, month, year, time varies for every record.

Please suggest..

Don't understand, if your requirement differ from your example, give us some more flesh (example data that is)...

Sorry, now I get it!

Well, I should build a lookup-up table, containing your start and end datetime, for each policy year. Then you fetch the policy year in a join, or you could define the interval as a format, with the policy year as label (the formatted value).
