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.
