new in 9.2

"nice-n-new" in SAS9.2
date handling now supports and provides delimiters in DATE format, with width 11. The year format supports width 5.[pre]%PUT %SYSFUNC( PUTN( 2999999, date11. ))
%SYSFUNC( PUTN( 2999999, year5. ));
350 %PUT %SYSFUNC( PUTN( 2999999, date11. ))
351 %SYSFUNC( PUTN( 2999999, year5. )) ;

I think the hyphen separated version is an improvement on the old DATE9 form.
