I have a character variable with the following data:
9/6/2013 11:16:13 AM
8/2/1994 4:18:06 PM
11/15/1995 3:54:36 PM
How would I go about extracting the four-digit year (eg 2013)?
Thank you.
Try using the scan function with a space and / as delimiter.
year=scan(var, 3, "/", 's');
Documentation on the SCAN function is here:

Or try this:
data _null_;
input var$40.;
year=year(input(var,ANYDTDTE32.));
put year=;
