[RW9]

SAS stores dates as number of days since a certain timepoint.  The number you are seeing is the raw value, i.e. the number of days since the cuttoff.  You need to format this number of days into the display type you want.

[Astounding]

The smallest change possible:  change +2 to +1.  +2 moves you past the first digit, to the comma.
