sas informat datetime

Question

Can anyone advise on the appropriate SAS informat to read in a datetime (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm) ???

eg

data _null_;
informat from_dt datetime????.;
input         


        

Answer 1

This entry from the SAS knowledgebase includes code for parsing and formatting datetime. Looks like SAS has a great online help system.

The third message in this exchange on Google groups may be helpful as well. It talks about inputting datetime, and provides code.

Your question is so hard to decipher, and I know so little about SAS, that's about all I can offer. Hope it helps.
