Hi,
This is a really simple problem, but I can't seem to find a solution.
My date variable is in an informat and format of DATETIME20. I want it to be in a MMDDYY10. format. How do I change my date variable from a DATETIME20. to MMDDYY10. format? I want my date variable that looks like this "01FEB2016:00:00:00" to look like this "02/01/2016."
Hi,
You want the datepart() function:
data want; thedt="01FEB2016:00:00:00"dt; thedt=datepart(thedt); format thedt mmddyy10.; run;

Awesome. That works perfectly!
Thank you, RW9.
