Hello:
I have a sample dataset shown below. I would like to do the following:
1. Change the ProduceDate from Character to Date format as MMDDYYYY (such as 06/04/1963).
2. Create a new ReceiveDate which is 90 days from ProduceDate.
3. Create a new ShipDate which is 6 months from ProdeceDate.
Please advice how to do it, thanks.

ProduceDate looks good.
ReceiveDate looks right, but could easily be simplified:
ReceiveDate = ProduceDate + 90;
ShipDate will revert to the first day of the month. To get 6 months later, while using the same day of the month:
ShipDate = intnx('month', ProduceDate, 6, 'same');
Hi Astounding, your code is easy and quick. Awesome!
Read the ProduceDate as Date instead of Char. If you need same day 6 months from the ProduceDate then use "SameDay" in INTNX
data test;
format ProduceDate ShipDate ReceiveDate yymmdd10.;
infile datalines dlm='|';
input ID $10. ProduceDate : yymmdd8. State : $10.;
ReceiveDate =intnx('days',ProduceDate,90);
ShipDate=intnx('month',ProduceDate,6,"sameday");

@Astounding has already proposed "SameDay" in INTNX to @novinosrin solution.
@ybz12003's 1st requirement is 1. Change the ProduceDate from Character to Date format as MMDDYYYY probably means his/her real data has a character date
Thank you so much for your wonderful help. I combined Novinosrin and Astounding's codes to get it work. Unfortunately, I only could give one solution to one person. Because Novinosin answered the Q first, I give the credit to him. But I am appreciated all of your kind help. 🙂
