Thanks so much for this: data want; set want; char_account_number = put(account_number, $15.) ; drop account_number ; rename char_account_number=account_number ; run; I'm sure that there are other ways to accomplish this, but this certainly worked for me. I am posting SAS data to a SQL server and SAS likes to push dates as numeric. I've tried various versions of the PUT statement, FORMAT, etc. But this did it. Thanks again.
