data PrepForTabulate /view=PrepForTabulate;
set sales;
DateofSale=datepart(DateTimeofSale);
SameDayDelivery=timepart(DateTimeofSale)<='15:00:00't;
run;
proc print data = PrepForTabulate;
run;


When I run this code the DateTimeofSale column shows no result as do the Dateof Sale column . I think that i need to convert the date first but really stucked in doing it as I dont have any information on the width of the Date variable. The log says :-

403 data PrepForTabulate /view=PrepForTabulate;
404 set sales;
405 DateofSale=datepart(DateTimeofSale);
406 SameDayDelivery=timepart(DateTimeofSale)<='15:00:00't;
407 run;

NOTE: Numeric values have been converted to character values at the places given by: (Line):(Column).
405:14
NOTE: DATA STEP view saved on file WORK.PREPFORTABULATE.

408 proc print data = PrepForTabulate;
409 run;

NOTE: Variable DateTimeofSale is uninitialized.

Kindly guide as to what addition i need to make to data step in oredr that the new variable DateTimeofSale and DateofSale gives result.
