can someone help me resolve this error? I except date value from this code. e.g. 10-09-2078
data test; dt=input('43352',MMDDYY10.); format dt MMDDYY10.; run;
Log:
26 data test; 27 dt=input('43352',MMDDYY10.); 28 format dt MMDDYY10.; 29 run; NOTE: Invalid argument to function INPUT at line 27 column 4. dt=. _ERROR_=1 _N_=1 NOTE: Mathematical operations could not be performed at the following places. The results of the operations have been set to missing values

But your input string of
'43352'
very clearly does not match the structure of your date, which is required by the MMDDYY10. informat.
Simply read it as a number:
data _null_;
dt = input('43352',5.);
format dt yymmdd10.;
put dt=;
run;
Log:
69 data _null_; 70 dt = input('43352',5.); 71 format dt yymmdd10.; 72 put dt=; 73 run; dt=2078-09-10
What do you expect from this code?
