Hi there, I am having difficulties converting dates.
Currently, the data imported from an excel sheet is shown as 081511 and I wish to convert it to 15AUG2011
Is this possible to do in a data step?
*dummy data (note I imported data from excel);
data SASIDTest;
input Date;
datalines;
090115
092616
042411
052912
071117
