Covert date text to number text

[itshere]

Hello - 

I currently have 2016-01-01 in my data.. its format is text,20. 

I want to join it with another table that i have and its format is 01JAN2016 00:00:00

How do I first convert the text DATE into number DATE and then in the correct format to join on this ^

I initially did Input(A.int_date, datetime20.) but it made all the rows blank. 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Build a SAS datetime value with function DHMS

dt = dhms(input(A.int_date, yymmdd10.), 0, 0, 0);

format dt datetime20.;

I forgot to mention Im using PROC SQL

So i need something that is supported by that.

dhms(input(A.int_date, yymmdd10.), 0, 0, 0) is supported by SAS Proc SQL.

You can us the value in a where clause as: Where dhms(input(A.int_date, yymmdd10.), 0, 0, 0) > <some datetime value>

or

join on dhms(input(A.int_date, yymmdd10.), 0, 0, 0) = b.datetimevariablename
