format and informat in sas -
i have following data:
data d; input date1 $ date2 $; cards; 5oct10 11nov11 6jul12 12oct13 1jan08 4may10 4may04 8jul06 1mar07 5aug07 18may04 1oug09 7aug05 8jul09 1feb03 5apr06 3feb01 15jul08 4apr07 16apr07 run;
*i need read in date7.informat , present data on date9.format.
*how do read data begin on width format, , how convert date's width 7 9 while cars not numeric?
when trying that:
proc print data=d; format date1 date2 date9.;; run;
it fails since use numeric format on none-completely numeric var
if use informat statement tell sas how read variables not not need list format in input statement. informat , format variable not need same, in case can because date9 informat recognize value 2 digit year.
informat date1 date2 date9.; format date1 date2 date9.; input date1 date2 ;
