I want to print out a date in mmddyy10. format.

I am new, so I am sure my question is well-you-know... obvious....

put "&&d&i"

prints out as

19088

I want it to print out like this:

06/10/2012

I am stumped. Conversions stop me dead.........

Thanks for any help

If its a macro variable as in your example then use something like the following:

%let test=19088;

%put %sysfunc(putn(&test, mmddyy10.));

You can replace &test with your &&d&i instead to get what you need.

Hope that helps!
