Hello,
I'm struggling with converting a string to a timestamp.
This is quite easy in normal Datastep, but not for me in DS2.
How would I have to modify the DS2 code so that I get the same result as in the normal datastep, CreationDate_n field.
Many thanks for your help!
data Testdaten;
attrib
CreationDate_c length= $40
CreationDate_n length= 8 format=DATETIME25.6;
CreationDate_c='2023-09-14T07:07:41+02:00';
CreationDate_n=input(CreationDate_c,ANYDTDTM.);
run;
proc ds2;
data _null_;
dcl timestamp CreationDate having format DATETIME25.6;
method run();
set Testdaten;
CreationDate= inputn(CreationDate_c,'ANYDTDTM.') ;
put CreationDate=;
end;
enddata;
run;
quit;
Have you investigated using functions?
Ex.
proc ds2;
data _null_;
dcl date ds2d having format YYMMDD10.;
dcl time ds2t having format TIME18.9;
dcl timestamp ds2dt having format DATETIME28.9;
dcl double d t ts;
method init();
d = 19358;
ds2d = to_date(d);
ds2t = to_time(d);
ds2dt = to_timestamp(d);
put ds2d= ds2t= ds2dt=;
end;
enddata;
run;
quit;
This doesn't solve the issue for converting the datetime string though. Sorry.
