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.
Hi.
proc sql;
create table want as
select date_time format = datetime. as new_date
from have;
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).
