| Working with Dates in the SAS System |
In the travel industry, some of the most important data
about a tour includes dates, when the tour leaves and returns, when payments
are due, when refunds are allowed, and so on. Tradewinds Travel has data that
contains dates of past and upcoming popular tours as well as the number of
nights spent on the tour. The raw data is stored in an external file that
looks like this:
