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");
datalines;

@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.  🙂
