I have a macro variable that is in date9. format
&max_date = 21may2014
I would like to change this format to mmddyy10. so it looks better in the title on the results page.
Any suggestions on this?
I have googled it but been unsuccessful in finding an answer.
Thanks
Probably not the best way, but you can use the putc function.
%let max_date=21May2014;
%put &max_date.;
%let max_date=%sysfunc(putn("&max_date"d, mmddyy10.));
%put &max_date.;

Works like a charm, thank you very much for the quick reply
