hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to convert a date (ddmmyyn8) to another date format (ddmmyy10) using proc sql alter table modify?

I am not familiar with proc dataset.
However, I have tried this peace of code and it seems to work.
Is It correct?
proc datasets lib=work;
modify BaseAV2017;
format EffDate yymmdd10.;
quit;
This is correct. It only changes the header information of the dataset and is therefore very efficient.
For "attribute surgery" like that, proc datasets is the method of choice.
