Syntax

MONYYw.

Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	5
Range:	5-7

Details

The MONYYw. format writes SAS date values in the form mmmyy or mmmyyyy, where

mmm: is the first three letters of the month name.
yy or yyyy: is a two-digit or four-digit integer that represents the year.

Comparisons

The MONYYw. format and the DTMONYYw. format are similar in that they both write date values. The difference is that MONYYw. expects a SAS date value as input, and DTMONYYw. expects a datetime value.

Examples

The example table uses the input value of 16794, which is the SAS date value that corresponds to December 24, 2005.
