set flowsheet;

 

service_day2= input(put(service_day, z8.),yymmdd8.);

Post example test data in the form of a datastep.  Otherwise I am just guessing what you have!  Is it looking like this?

data want;
  num_var=20180212;
  date_var=input(put(num_date,8.),yymmdd8.);
  format date_var date9.;
run;
