I have a column in my tables that has observations like this:
Date
200601
200602
200603
...
I want to convert them into a date format that can be used in proc forecast procedure ( so like 1JAN2006, 1FEB2006 etc.) How can i do that?
INPUT()
Informat -> YYMMN6

data new ;
set wej.vintage_css_3; /* the dataset that ahs the column */
newdate=input(fin_period,YYMMN6.) /*fin_period is that one with the dates to changfe */
run;
but it does not work 😕 it says its a syntax error
