data _null_;
format want date9.;
val=20160515;
want=input(put(val,8.),yymmdd8.);
put want=;
run;

I converted numeric value to string and then converted it back to numeric using yymmdd8.

HI

Thank you,

This would mean is I have a column with all the dates of 20160101 then I will have to put all in

I would just replace the data to the variables column
