After you import you could change the format using PROC DATASETS.   Not sure, but this format might work: MDYAMPM.   You can try something like this:   proc datasets lib=work /*<--library*/ memtype=data; modify table; /*<--table to modify*/ attrib colummn1 /*<--Column to format*/ format=mdyampm. /*<--apply new format*/; quit; It uses AM/PM. Not sure if that's an issue. Let me know.         ... View more
