date formats

[GreggB]

my data looks like:

DOB

08/13/2003

what I want:

month    day       year

Aug         13         03

This is to help students with bubbling an answer document.

If it's a SAS date, use the day(), month() and year() functions.

If it's not a SAS date, create one first with the input() function.

Assuming it's a SAS date, use YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() to extract the components needed. If it's not a SAS date, first convert it with INPUT(varName, mmddyy10.)
