Ok, I've been on holiday for the past week and seem to have lost all SAS ability. All I'm looking to do is convert a $5 formatted variable to a ddmmyy. date.

For example, I want the value 'JAN11' to be converted to '01JAN11'.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks

d="jan11";
date=INPUT("01"||d,anydtdte7.);
format date date7.;
run;
[/pre]
Sincerely,
