Hi there!
I have a raw database which reports duration in days as a character variable (e.g. 38) and when reading it to SAS I would like to format it in ISO 8601 format (for instance, 38 would be P38D). Currently, I'm doing it manually by creating two additional variables ('P' and 'D') and concatenating them with the duration variable
VAR1 = cats(P,LENGTH,D)
However, I would like to know if there is another way to do this automatically in the data step without performing the conversion this way, I mean, by automatically applying the ISO8601 format to the character variable.
Regards,
David
