I have a text variable called transaction date which has values like 01-APR-14. I want to convert this variable to a date variable in the format ddmmyy.
I have used the code
date=input(substr(strip(transaction_date),1,9),MMDDYY10.)
This doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest how to do this.
Assuming transaction_date is a character the following is what you want:
date=input(strip(transaction_date), date9.);
format date mmddyy10.;
