Hello!
What informat should i use to read the following data values as numeric variables form a csv?
"Sun, 22 Feb 2004"
input date:?????
Thanks in advance,
Andreas
First, remove the day of the week from the text string. Compress the blanks, and then the date9 informat should work.
data a;
y='22 Feb 2004';
x=input(compress(y),date9.);
format x date9.;
run;

If that is the way the data is in the CSV you likely will need to read the value as character then so something like:
data example; x="Sun, 22 Feb 2004"; y= input(scan(x,2,','),anydtdte16.); format y date9.; run;
to create a date value.
