adding days to a mmyy format

[jwill731]

Hi Everyone,

Currently my date variable is in the format of mmyy (i.e. 01/2010)

I used the following code to read the data. While everything is read correctly, it automatically added first day of the month for each DOB (i.e. 01May1990).

data temp;
infile 'C:\users\';
informat DOB anydtdte.;
format DOB date9.;
input DOB
run;

 Is there a way to add the 15th day of the month instead?

For simplicity I left out all the other variables like gender, postal code etc from informat and input function.

Thanks in advance!!

Add 14 to the variable. Variable = Variable + 14;

Use INTNX to set the value to mid month, check the documentation for options for last parameter which is alignment.
