Hi, how do I convert a date time value in this format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) into a numeric date?
When I run the below code want_str only has a "."
Thank you for your help in advance!
data have;
str="2023-02-03 15:49:06";
Want_str=input(str, mmddyy10.);
format want_str mmddyy10.;
run;
Hi @Scooby3g,
Use the proper informat:
Want_str=input(str, yymmdd10.);
(Why do you use the suffix "str" for a numeric variable?)

Thank you @FreelanceReinh !!!!!!
The word/acronym "Str" was just on top of my head at the moment so I just used it as an example variable name.
Posting the data step for anyone who needs it in the future!

Want_str=input(str, yymmdd10.);
format want_str mmddyy10.;
