Hi, I imported several datasets from excel to sas using the proc import function. Following that I created a new dataset, TotalOwn. which combined all of the imported datasets. I realized that my dates were read as best32. and I need to convert them into yymmdd10. format. Is there a way to do it for the combined dataset, TotalOwn? instead of modifying it for every single dataset that I imported? I tried using the proc datasets function: proc datasets lib=own1990; modify TotalOwn; format fdate yymmdd10.; informat fdate best32.; run; But It's been over an hour and it appears to still be running. Thank you for your help, AV
