Character date to numeric

[sri1]

Hi all,

I have character dates as in below format , is there any way I can convert to numeric. I tried using date11. but didn't work.

data test;
test_date1 = "16 June 2023";

converted1 = input(test_date1, date11.);

format converted1  date9.;
put test_date1= converted1=;
run;

Thanks
