Convert seconds in minutes

[11205213]

Hey, 
I would like to convert seconds (as 1897 seconds) in a minutes format (not hours). 

Can you help me please ? 
Thank !!

Divide by 60.

If you want to display seconds as minutes, use the mmss. format.

[PeterClemmensen]

data _null_;
   sec=1897;
   format sec mmss.;
   put sec;
run;

I just want to create a new variable (column) which will convert one existing variable in seconds in minutes 

[PeterClemmensen]

In that case

data _null_;
   sec=1897;
   min=sec/60;
   put sec= min=;
run;

But : 1789 seconds / 60 = 29.82 minutes which is not in a good format

If you want those .82 m displayed as seconds, use the mmss. format, as already advised.
