I have a table in sas with a date column named DATE_MOD of format DATETIME23.
The dates are as such:
28JAN2019:14:32:42
03JUN2021:14:22:13
04JUN2021:16:02:23
Now I want to change the times in red and make them 23:59:59 for all the rows in this column like so:
28JAN2019:23:59:59
03JUN2021:23:59:59
04JUN2021:23:59:59
I use a proc sql update statement but it does not work.
proc sql; update operation set date_mod = dhms(date_mod,23,59,59); quit;
Any help please?
One obvious issue: you have a datetime variable, but the function dhms expects a date as first argument.
Using a data step:
data want;
set have;
date_mod = dhms(datepart(date_mod), 23, 59, 59);
run;
