if you look here SAS/GRAPH(R) 9.3: Reference, Third Edition

You will find the answer

value-list

For date and time values, value-list                                  can have the following forms:                              

• “SAS-value“i <...”SAS-value“i>”                                         
• “SAS-value”i TO                                             “SAS-value”i <BY interval>                                                                                      

“SAS-value”i

is any SAS date, time,                                       or datetime value described for the SAS functions INTCK and INTNX.                                       Enclose the value in quotation marks and specify                                       one of the following for i:                                   

D

date

T

time

DT

datetime

interval

is one of the valid                                       arguments for the INTCK or INTNX functions.  These are the default                                       intervals:                                     

DAY

default interval for                                             date                                         

SECOND

default interval for                                             time                                         

DTSECOND

default interval for                                             datetime                                         

These value lists use                                 SAS date and time values:   

order=("25MAY11"d "04JUL11"d "07SEP11"d) order=("01JUL10"d to "01AUG10"d) order=("01JUL11"d to "01JAN11"d by week) order=("9:25"t to "11:25"t by minute) order=("04JUN11:12:00:00"dt to "10JUN11:12:00:00"dt by dtday)

You mention that you're wanting to use Gchart (for bar charts, I assume?)

One important thing to know is that you'll probably want to use the 'discrete' option, so that each of the date (or time) values in your data becomes a discrete bar in your bar chart ... otherwise Gchart will probably treat them as numeric (which is what they are) and group & split them into a histogram.
