I have a data set that has three columns (one column mentions day of a month, 2nd column mentions month, and the 3rd column mentions year). I would like to combine the data in those three columns to create a date column.
data have;
input ID $ StartMonth StartDay StartYear ;
cards;
001 10 9 2022
002 4 3 2022
003 2 7 2022
004 7 17 2022
005 10 24 2022
006 11 14 2022
