Something like this will produce the desired output. I am assuming the difference between dates as number of days.
data have;
input m d y date1 :mmddyy10.;
date2=mdy(m,d,y);
date_diff_day=intck('day',date2,date1);
format date1 date2 date9.;
datalines;
1 20 1985 01/30/1986
;
proc print data=have;
run;

I have a Data set that contains separate columns for day, month and year. I need to consolidated these into one single variable .
Example:
1 20 1985 (consolidated into a single SAS date)
Would I want to use the MDY Function? and what would this look like?
Once I've consolidated this date I need to find the difference from this new column and another date column that was originally a single columned date.
Thanks!
