Hi all,

 

Is it possible in SAS to convert a Dutch datetime like this one:

09 oktober 2018 16:50:10 uur

 

To a SAS date like: 21466

or to SAS seconds like this: 1854723010?

 

I tried datepart(my_date_variable) but no luck..

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

My oh my @data_null__  Sir, is there anything that you do not know about. Jeez, can't believe that knowledge transcends geography info. Hats off!

@novinosrin It is all about the documentation. Cat Happy  I know SAS has national language support and that I needed an in-format.  I copied the example and used @MijnSGS2 data.
