UTC values specify a
time and a time zone based on the zero meridian in Greenwich, England.
The B8601DZ format writes SAS datetime values for the zero meridian
date and time by using one of the following ISO 8601 basic datetime
notations:
-
Note: Use this form when
w is
large enough to support this time zone notation.
-
Note: Use this form when
w is
not large enough to support the +0000 time zone notation.
is a two-digit month
(zero padded) between 01 and 12.

indicates the UTC time

An ISO 8601 time or
datetime value that specifies a time zone offset is adjusted by the
number of hours and minutes that is specified in the offset and processed
as the time or datetime for the zero meridian (Greenwich, England).
The B8601DZ format always writes the datetime value using the zero
meridian offset value of +0000.
To write a datetime
that uses the UTC offset other than +0000, see B8601LZw. Format.Restriction: The
shorter form +00 is not supported.
indicates that the
time is for the zero meridian (Greenwich, England) or +0000 UTC time.
Z is used when the width of the format does not support the +0000
notation.
