Hello,

 

Does anyone understand why my format is is returning a value of 01/01/1960?  Thanks in advanced!

 

My code is below and my unformatted data is as follows:

 

 - collection_date: date11. (i.e., 19-JUL-2017)

 - pctim = character (i.e., 10:55, 10:10, 11:55 etc.)

 

 

if nmiss (collection_date)= 0
				then do ;
					pcdt = collection_date;
					pcdtc = put(collection_date + input(pctim, time5.),e8601dt.) ;
				end;

try using dhms to create a datetime value using date and time value

 

Assuming your date is a sas numeric date

 

datetime=put(dhms(collect_date,0,0,input(pcttm,time5.)),e8601dt.);

and then apply an appropriate format
