Hi, I have time in HHMMSSS and would like to informat and format it with (eg 12:23:123) in SAS dataset.
I used time7. for informat, but returns with "." in the SAS dataset.. Could you please help me how to do that ? Thanks you so much.
data have;
input hhmmsss;
datalines;
1223123
0403267
;
run;
I used the picture format to get the result.
proc format;
picture times (default=10) low-high="99:99:990";
run;
data have;
input hhmmsss;
time=put(hhmmsss,times.);
datalines;
1223123
0403267
;
run;
Thanks,
Jag
And you are having problems because your data as written is indicating more that 60 seconds to a minute.
You may want to get the fractional seconds using a different informat if want an actual time value:
data have;
informat hhmmsss b8601tm7.1;
input hhmmsss ;
format hhmmsss time12.1;
datalines;
1223123
0403267
;
run;
