Hello all,
I am trying to export a SAS data set into a CSV file using the proc export data step. The date format in the SAS data is yyyy-mm-dd. But in the CSV file it is getting converted into mm/dd/yyyy.
I tried using the format statement YYMMDDd10., YYMMDD10., and even tried creating a new variable. But nothing is working.
Can anyone please help me find the solution?
Thanks!
If you opened the file with Excel, Excel will apply its own format.
ALWAYS (as in ALWAYS) inspect csv files with a text editor.
