I have dates coming in as Nov 7, 1948, May 27, 1947 and Feb 13, 1953 - how do i convert these dates into a yymmdd8.?
Thank you
What about this:
data test;
length c $12
d $8;
input c $12.;
d=put(input(c, anydtdte12.), yymmdd8.);
cards;
Nov 7, 1948
May 27, 1947
Feb 13, 1953
;
Or a bit shorter (if your dates are raw data):
data test;
length d $8;
input c anydtdte12.;
d=put(c, yymmdd8.);
cards;
Nov 7, 1948
May 27, 1947
Feb 13, 1953
