Hello everyone,
my date format is 2012-11-06 00:00:00
data sj.have;
length date $21.;
date = "2012-11-06 00:00:00";
run;
I want just the date from that string in mm/dd/yyyy (for eg: 03/15/1979) format.
Thanks
data _null_;
datetime = "2012-11-06 00:00:00";
format date date9.;
date = input(substr(datetime,1, 10), yymmdd10.);
put _all_;
run;
data _null_;
datetime = "2012-11-06 00:00:00";
format date date9.;
date = input(substr(datetime,1, 10), yymmdd10.);
put _all_;
run;
Create a date variable, and apply the fitting format:
data sj.have;
length
date $21
num_date 4
;
date = "2012-11-06 00:00:00";
num_date = input(scan(date,1),yymmdd10.);
format num_date mmddyy10.;
run;
