Hello,
How to extract a Month and Year from the format, 11/12/2018? Thank you.
The format has nothing to do with it. If it the value is a SAS date value then you use the Month and Year (or Day or Qtr) functions.
data example;
month=month(today());
year =year(today());
run;
Use your SAS date-valued variable inplace of the Today() function.
If you have a character value that looks like 11/12/2018 that's another story.
https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Working-with-Dates-and-Times-in-SAS-Tutorial/... has a PDF with much information about dates.
