I am working on a data set that is merged from two sets. Then I want to separate date and time to two columns.

 

This is what I have done:

data JF_XY;
	merge JF XY;
	by number;
	format date datepart(DateTime, date9.);
run;

The left is the data set that I am working on. The right is the expected output.

Do not confuse functions and formats :

 

data JF_XY;
	merge JF XY;
	by number;
    date = datepart(datetime);
    time = timepart(datetime);
    format date yymmdd10. time time.;
run;
