Convert string date to a different string date

[Lani]

Hi ~,

Could someone help me to convert "August 15, 2010" into "08/15/10"?

Thanks for your help.

[pre]
data _null_;
indate = "August 15, 2010";
outdate = PUT(INPUT(indate, ANYDTDTE15.), MMDDYY8.) ;
put indate= outdate=;
run;
[/pre]

Yields:
[pre]
indate=August 15, 2010 outdate=08/15/10
[/pre]
