show date in short month name, e.g. Jan, feb. I found that there is only MONNAME in information map. how do I add such user-defined format for date in informartion map? I used sas 9.3

Hi, you can pull the short date form using the below code if the date is in numeric format.

data date;

date=substr(put(today(),date9.),3,3);

run;

If the date is in month name then you can use the substr function to extract the first three letters from the month name like

sunstr(monname,1,3);

Thanks,

Hi Jag,

I have question that In which part of Web Report Studio and Information Map Studio run the code:

============

data date;

date=substr(put(today(),date9.),3,3);

run;

============

Please help to indicate.

Hi,

You can do this in IMAP by just changing the valid width range to 3(for monname format).

Thanks,
