Data type for date

[SASPhile]

The Main data set (A) has date as Character.I need to append another dataset (B) to the main dataset.The date in (B) has to be changed to mmddyy10. format,and i had to use anydtdte informat. So the data type for this date is numeric.When I try to append these two datasets, i'm having an issue due to data type mismtach.How to resolve this issue?

Either change the date in dataset B to be a character string (using the PUT function) or change the date in dataset A to be numeric (using the INPUT function).
