I have an existing SAS table and I want to add a date column to the table. Is there an easy way to add say JAN 2003? I am using SAS enterprise Guide. I have been going to Edit - Columns - Add Columns and adding the numeric value, however this is very cumbersome. It would be much easier to add just Jan 2003 and have SAS read it as a date.
data new;
set old;
date=define date format as needed;
run;
Thank you! I was missing the " "d.
