Hi all,
is there a way to assosciate numbers from 1 to 12 with the 12 months without having to down the long-winded road of
if x = 1 then my_month = 'JAN';
else if x=2 then my_month = 'FEB';
...
else if x=12 then my_month = 'DEC'
?
Thanks,
Marco
put(mdy(x,1,1960),monname3.)
put(mdy(x,1,1960),monname3.)
Thanks!
but why 1960?
the year is actually irrelevant but that's the year for sas date = 0.
How about:
my_month = put(mdy(x,1,2013),monname3.);
MDY takes a month number, day number, and year. In your case, the day and year can be anything.

Absolutely.
One way of many is to code a proc format that contains the values.
For example (untested):
proc format;
value myname
1 = "JAN"
2 = "FEB"
etc....
other = "err" /* in case you have a number greater than 12, missing or zero */
;
run;
............................
my_month = put(x,myname.);
