Hi,
We are working on a 9.2 - EG installation. i was trying the following code.
data a;
format a date9. b date9.;
a=input('01-Apr-19',anydtdte9.);
b=input('01-Apr-20',anydtdte9.);
run;
the output that i get is
a=01apr2019
b=01apr1920
Why is it that for the first date the year comes as 2019 but for the second date the year comes as 1920. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Look up the option yearcutoff
The default is 1920 which you need to change for your dates.

Reeza already told you about the yearcytoff option for 2-digit years. Date9. expects DDMMMYY(YY) characters. In your example was 01 at the beginning representing day or year?
Reeza,
Thanks a lot..
Art,
The 01 represented the day.
