Hi,

What is the SAS procedure to format a date to dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss

Also, if anyone knows, can we input that format directly into a sql query or we need to use a data step with format?

Thank you for your help and time.

proc sql;

    create table want as

    select date_time format = datetime. as new_date

quit;

Is this what you were looking for?

Good luck,

Anca.

Hi,

If you want to apply such a format, your variable has to contain a datetime and not simply a date. Or you will have to define a default time value (or retrieve it from the system by using the "time()" fonction).
