I'm having problems reading the date on my sas table
id date
111 01sept10 000000
the date is september 1 2010
ive tried to read this date and produce results like this:
id date expiry
111 01sept10 000000 yes
by using a code like this
length expiry $ 10
if date < '21Apr2014' d then expiry ='yes'; , the problem is the code does not appear to recognize this date format and give incorrect results. I was thinking that the solution may be to change the format of the date to something like 01/09/2010 as this format has worked for me in the past. How do i change the code or which is the quickest way?
Thanks.
If you're dealing with an actual SAS dataset post the proc contents on it.
proc contents data=have; run;
My guess is its a date time variable so you'll need to use the date part function for the comparison:
if datepart(date) < '21Apr2014' d then expiry ='yes';
