sas function to convert clock time to nominal values

[ari]

Hi, Is there a SAS function to convert the SAS clock time to nominal values?

for example:

8:30 am    = 8.5

16:30 pm = 16.5

likewise...

SAS time values are numbers of seconds. So to get hour.decimalhour divide by 3600 .

data example;
   t = '08:30't;
   timenominal = t/3600;
run;

3600 = 60 seconds in hour * 60 minutes in hour.

Divide by one hour.

4782  data _null_;
4783    now=time();
4784    hours=now/'01:00:00't ;
4785    put now= time8. hours= ;
4786  run;

now=8:56:20 hours=8.9389222222
