I need to format a date from yyyymmdd to mm/dd/yyyy in sas data step. I have the following sas codes:
DATA work; SET work1; BY ID; Birth_Date=input(Date_of_Birth,yyyymmdd.); format Birth_Date $date10.; run;
the original date is character type, format $8. informat $8.
i keep getting sas error message: The informat YYYYMMDD was not found or could not be loaded
can anyone help with this? thanks
