The easiest way to accomplish this is to build your own picture format using directives:
%0d - gives you the day of the month, with a leading zero if a single digit
%b - gives you the month abbreviation
%0y - gives you the 2 digit year with a leading zero if a single digit. For a 4 digit year you can use the date11. format.
proc format ;
picture date9d other = '%0d-%b-%0y'( datatype= date ) ;
run;
format id1 date9d.;
Hi,
The closest format I could find was ddmmyyd10. It outputs date in form 15-09-10. Maybe it helps.
Ieva
if you can live with a 4 digit year, you can use date11. Otherwise, you may have to roll your own using proc format.
As Art suggests, the closest is DATE11. followed by writing your own with something like
proc format ;
picture date9x other = '%0d-%b-%0y'( datatype= date ) ;
picture date9t other = '%0d-%b-%0y'( datatype= datetime ) ;
run ;
* testing ;
%put %sysfunc( today(), date9x ) ;
%put from datetime value, %sysfunc( datetime(), date9t ) ;
which report to the log like
5 %put %sysfunc( today(), date9x ) ;
28-NOV-11
6 %put from datetime value, %sysfunc( datetime(), date9t ) ;
from datetime value, 28-NOV-11
%LET date=%SYSFUNC( PUTN( %SYSFUNC( DATE() ),date11. ));
If you *really* want to have the three-letter month name lower-cased, then here is one way. hth.
/* create a custom date format, datedash,
for the date range, 1jan2010 - 31dec2030 */
data f;
retain fmtname "datedash";
drop d;
do d = '1jan2010'd to '31dec2030'd;
start = d;
label = catx('-', put(day(d), z2.0),
lowcase(put(d, monname3.)),
put(d, year2.));
output;
end;
hlo = "other";
label = repeat("*",9-1);
output;
run;
proc format cntlin=f;
run;
/* check */
data _null_;
do d = '31dec2009'd, '1sep2010'd,
'15dec2015'd, '31dec2030'd, '1jan2031'd;
put d= :datedash.;
end;
run;
/* on log
d=*********
d=01-sep-10
d=15-dec-15
d=31-dec-30
d=*********
*/
