If OrderDate is a SAS date variable (days from 01/01/1960), then the functions year(), month() and day() will do the trick.

If it is not, convert it first.

If the OrederDate is charachter type use function scan:

   day = scan(OrederDate,1,'/');

  mon = scan(OrederDate,2,'/');

  year = scan(OrederDate,3,'/');
