I have a numeric date variable with the format BEST12 and informat BEST32 assigned to it. I want to change it to MMDDYY10. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance
Yes, you are right.
I just figured this out. This is what I am doing and it works. Thank you very much.
data temp;
set flowsheet;
service_day2= input(put(service_day, z8.),yymmdd8.);
format service_day2 mmddyy10.;
drop service_day;
rename service_day2= service_day;
run;
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;
