All, 
    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong in the following data step. I get 'Jan' where I would expect 'Mar' 

 

        

Data T;
  Month = 3; 
  Month_Str = put(Month,monname3.);  ; 
Run; 

 

Best

try this month = today();

see if that helps demonstrate that the value of 3 you have assigned to month is referencing Jan 3, 1960

 

Data T;
  Month = today(); 
  Month_Str = put(Month,monname3.);  ; 
Run; 

 the first argument is the SAS date value. the second argument is the format
