Can't see the problem in your attached dates, they are all in date format. So just input them...?

Data never sleeps

Hope the below code works..

data _null_;
set date;
new_date=input(date,yymmdd10.);
if not missing(new_date) then
final_date=new_date;
else
final_date=date;

put final_date=;
run;

data test;

input date_of_interview :$10.;

format final_date_of_interview date9.;

final_date_of_interview=input(date_of_interview,ddmmyy10.);

cards;
