Hi all,
if the dates are in the format mmddyy10. but i want the output like mon-year format.
ex:
jan-2000
feb-2000
mar-1989 in this format.
how this is done in sas.
Thanks in advance all
MONYY7 format is pretty close but if you want lowercase and the dash you will probably need to use a picture format. Not sure about the lowercase you can RTM since you're the one that wants it.
Assuming you already have your date in SAS date format (number containing days from 01jan1960):
length datestr $8;
datestr = lowcase(put(yourdate,monyy7.));
datestr = substr(datestr,1,3) !! '-' !! substr(datestr,4);
put datestr=;
