w

specifies the width of the output field.

Details

The WEEKDATXw. format writes SAS date values in the form day-of-week, dd month-name, yy (or yyyy), where
dd
is an integer that represents the day of the month.
yy or yyyy
is a two-digit or a four-digit integer that represents the year.
If w is too small to write the complete day of the week and month, then SAS abbreviates as needed.

Comparisons

The WEEKDATEw. format is the same as the WEEKDATXw. format, except that WEEKDATEw. prints dd after the month's name.
The WEEKDATXw. format is the same as the DTWKDATXw. format, except that DTWKDATXw. expects a datetime value as input.
