Hello,

I want to know if i can get Month from date variable in a new variable.

Example -  I want to calculate 10% bonus on salary in the month of Hire Date.

Show examples in the form of a datastep in future, I will guess what you have:

data want;
  mydate="01FEB2017"d;
  month=month(mydate);
  format mydate date9.
         month monname3.;
run;
