the month.
-
dd

You can separate the month, day, and year fields by blanks or by special
characters. However, if you use delimiters, place them between all fields
in the value. Blanks can also be placed before and after the date.
Note: SAS interprets a two-digit year as belonging to the
100-year span that is defined by the YEARCUTOFF= system option.
