Hi,
Trying to create year, qtr, month from a date in ddmmyy10. format - not working, any ideas?
The date field is a text field with $10 length.
'01/31/2017'
Thank you

This is not a ddmmyy, but a mmddyy format. Use the mmddyy informat in an input function to convert your string to a SAS date variable, and then you can use the year(), month() and qtr() functions to extract the values you want.
If code that you wrote does not work as expected, post the code and the log.
Use the proper posting windows ({i} or "little running man" icon) to preserve formatting.
