Re: How to convert a character date to numeric in "SAS VA" ?????

The simplest approach would be to convert the character date to a SAS (numeric) date before loading it into SAS VA. That way it will properly identified in your VA data source as a date.

Can use the TreatAs function to convert date to numeric value( which will be stored as the number of days between January 1 1960 and the date).
