I converted the numeric date variable into character variable using this code

proc sql;

create table as date_char as select put (visit_dt,yymmdd10.) as visdate

from stdtelmt merged; quit;

it worked as I wanted but in my new table I only have new variable. how do I get all of the variable I had in the from table? or all of the variable in the previous dataset?

coz you selected only select put (visit_dt,yymmdd10.) as visdate

 

select *,put (visit_dt,yymmdd10.) as visdate
