Hi, I have a text file with a date with multiple date formats.  Kind of what's created below in the sample data.  I also created a picture format for the date format I need (further below).  What I can't figure out is how to conditionally read in the file and maintain the data as a date.  The final output needs to have the new date format (newdate.).  I'm trying to avoid reading it in as a string then converting it later.  Any ideas? Thanks!   *sample data; data test; input date $10.; datalines; 01JUL2020 2020-07-01 ; run;   *new data format. proc format; picture NewDate other='%Y-%0m-%0d' (datatype=date); run; %let now=%sysfunc(today(),newdate.); %put &now; ...
