Syntax

WEEKDATXw.

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	29
Range:	3-37

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.

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.

The example table uses the input value of 16490, which is the SAS date value that corresponds to February 23, 2005.
