Hello,
I am trying to reduce the data returned from a very large table by the date (Proc sql in SAS 9.4)
The format of the column is DDYYMM8. (Number)
In my where clause I have tried:
where date >= 01-01-16
where date >= 01/01/16
and the reverse eg 16/01/01 etc
All attempts so far have resulted in dates still being returned which are older than 01/01/16
Can anyone help please?
try this:
where date LE '01jan2016'd
All of the SAS date stored as numbers, counting days from 1/1/1960. So you either use the number of days directly, in this case, 20454 days from 1/1/1960, or tell SAS how to read it correctly, such as in the above example.

Thank you for this it's worked perfectly!
