Hi,
I have a date1 variable with number (20140220) and I need to convert it to Date9. format (20FEB2014)
Any comments highly appreciated
Regards
Since it is already a number you could convert the value to a SAS date value and apply the DATE9. format to the variable.
data want ;
set have ;
date1 = input(put(date1,8.),yymmdd8.);
format date1 date9. ;
run;
One way is to convert the number to a character string and then use the INPUT function to apply a date format:
data A;
format d DATE9.; /* display d as date */
date1 = 20140220;
c = put(date1, 8.); /* convert to char */
d = input(c, anydtdte.); /* read with "anydate" format */
run;
proc print; run;

format date1 date9. ;
run;
