Hi all,
i'm trying to format a day in the week as "14Jul2011" and use a macro variable to write a code.
I know how to format it as '14Jul2011'd but looking for a way to automate this for the date to be convertered automatically when the code is run.
I am a new user to SAS and my knowledge is limited.
Is there an easier way to format the date?
Any help is much appreciated.
cheers,
In order for anyone to help, I think that you're going to have to provide an example of what you are trying to do.

You can format a variable at run-time by using the PUTN function:
x = '14Jul2011'd;
y = putn(x, "DATE9.");
