Hi, Doc, and thanks for replying. What I've done, in a Proc SQL step, is to use the DATEPART function of a field that contains a SAS datea and Time value. Once I got the DATEPART value, in a PROC SORT step, I then sorted the SAS numeric date value. After that, I then had a PROC REPORT STEP, and that's where my dates go crazy. I had PROC PRINT commands after both the PROC SQL and PROC SORT, and the dates looked great. However, nothing in my report showed as being in a valid sequence, whether I used native SAS date format or an edited date format of MMDDYY10..
That's the part that's driving me nuts. Also, how might I go about putting the date into a text format to look like the format you suggested?
Thanks for responding and I look forward to hearing back from you.
