Hi all,
im trying to change my sas format from
20160107 |
to a sas format sas forecast studio can read.
i have tried yymmddn8. but it comes up blank. my current laod format is numeric
thank you
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
This is unclear.
