The DTDATEw.
format writes SAS date values in the form ddmmmyy
or ddmmmyyyy, where
-
dd
-
is an integer that represents the day of
the month.
-
mmm
-
are the first three letters of the month
name.
-
yy or yyyy
-
is a two-digit or four-digit integer that
represents the year.
The DTDATEw.
format produces the same type of output that the DATEw.
format produces. The difference is that the DTDATEw.
format requires a datetime value.
The example table uses a datetime value of 16APR2000:10:00:00
as input, and prints both a two-digit and a four-digit year for the DTDATEw. format.
