Hi,

I have a data set with times in local times in both Asia and North America. I want to convert the local datetime variable to one in EST. Does anyone know of a SAS function or macro that can accomplish this?

Thanks!

SAS Date Times are simply seconds. If you know (or can look up) the number of hours difference, you would simply add or subtract the equivalent number of seconds from the local time to get EST.
