I'm trying to convert the character variable '201803120520' into datetime.
need help.
Thanks
Check the informats starting with "any", maybe one of them can convert the char-value.
The ANYDTTME informat should work.
Hi,
You need to do some conversion Like:
data want;
Format Date_Val datetime26.;
Char='201803120520';
Date_Val=INPUT(CATS(SUBSTR(Char,1,8),"T",SUBSTR(Char,9),"00"),B8601DT15.);
run;
