Hello everyone!

I am wondering about what is 'Z' character in datetime. Sometime, I check time and the output is 2019-05-30T11:12:34.000000Z.

Another time I check it is 2019-05-31T02:48:17+0000

In the above output, the first has "Z" character, and the second doesn't

Please post your question as a self-contained data step in the form of "have" (source) and "want" (desired results).
I won't contribute to your post if I can't cut-and-paste your syntactically correct code into SAS.
