I have a table where the SAS dates for fst service and birthday are
8 BIRTHDAY Num 8 DATE9. DATE9. BIRTHDAY
I am trying to reformat in my proc sql as yyyymmdd
Here is my code and I am just drawing a complete blank
proc sql;*select distinct information;
create table sum0513 as
(select distinct
sys_id,
alt_id,
sub_nbr,
acct_nbr,
fst_srvc_dt format date=yymmdd8.,
first_name,
last_name,
bday format date=yymmdd8.,
age,
from tbl2
group by sys_id, fst_srvc_dt, acct_nbr);
run;
fst_srvc_dt format=yymmddN8.,
The syntax is FORMAT= and then the format. YYMMDD8 will get you two digit years and hyphens. The N in code above means to not use any separator, so there is room for four digit years. You could also use YYMMDD10. if you like the separators.
fst_srvc_dt format=yymmddN8.,

Thanks. Brainfart day.
I think what you're looking for is;
fst_srvc_dt format=yymmdd8.,
or in a datastep
format fst_srvc_dt yymmdd8.;
