I want to convert the date and lower the frequence. But I failed.
It seems that I failed to write the date code. Where I can correct it? Thanks.
I know next to nothing about proc expand - but does it make any difference if you tell SAS that your date variable is really a date?
If you change the informat line to:
attrib date informat=yymmdd. format=yymmdd10.;
does it make any difference? I wonder if currently SAS is just seeing it as an integer.
Can you post the error message?

Hello,
You need a format statement (additional to your informat statement):
data GDPhpf;
input DATE y;
informat date yymmdd.;
format date yymmdd10.;
datalines;
The format statement displays the date in a human readable format.
The internal value of date is just an integer that represents the number of days between January 1
To do frequency conversion, see PROC EXPAND documentation:
SAS/ETS User’s Guide
The EXPAND procedure
Details: EXPAND procedure
Frequency Conversion
Example (from QUARTER to MONTH):
proc expand data=qtrly out=temp from=qtr to=month;
convert gdp gd / observed=average;
id date;
run;
Cheers,

If @sbxkoenk hasn't answered your question please provide more details. All we know is:
I want to convert the date and lower the frequence. But I failed.
It seems that I failed to write the date code. Where I can correct it? Thanks.
What do you mean by:
convert the date
lower the frequency - to what (weekly/monthly) and what type of aggregation is relevant (avg, mean, MJ , max)
i failed - how? What isn't doing what you want?
And what do you want...I recommend posting a smaller set of data as a sample AND including what you want as output as well.
