Details

The TIMEAMPMw.d format writes SAS time values in the form hh:mm:ss.ss with AM or PM, where

is an integer that represents the hour.

is an integer that represents the minutes.

ss.ss

is the number of seconds to two decimal places.

Times greater than 23:59:59 PM appear as the next day.

Make w large enough to produce the desired results. To obtain a complete time value with three decimal places and AM or PM, you must allow at least 11 spaces (hh:mm:ss PM). If w is less than 5, SAS writes AM or PM only.

Comparisons

The TIMEAMPMMw.d format is similar to the TIMEMw.d format except, that TIMEAMPMMw.d prints AM or PM at the end of the time.
TIMEw.d writes hours greater than 11:59:59, and TIMEAMPMw.d does not.

Example

The example table uses the input value of 59083, which is the SAS time value that corresponds to 4:24:43 PM.
