I am working with a dataset in SAS, containing many variables.
One of these variables is a DATE variable and it has a date/time format. It looks like this:
12FEB97:00:00:00
27MAR97:00:00:00
14APR97:00:00:00
Now the thing is that I would like to convert this variable into a NUMERIC format. And I would like to get the following result (based on the previously shown 3 examples):
199702
199703
199704
Do you have any ideas how to do it? I already read through many docs, pdfs etc. but still could not find a proper solution yet.
Thank you very much!
