The TIMEAMPMw.d format writes SAS time values and SAS datetime values
in
the form hh:mm:ss.ss with AM or PM, where
-
hh
-
is an integer that represents the hour.
-
mm
-
is an integer that represents the minutes.
-
ss.ss
-
is the number of seconds to two decimal
places.
Times greater than 23:59:59 PM appear as the next day.
Make w large enough to
produce the desired results. To obtain a complete time value with three decimal
places and AM or PM, you must allow at least 11 spaces (hh:mm:ss PM). If w is less than 5, SAS
writes AM or PM only.
-
The TIMEAMPMMw.d format is similar to the
TIMEMw.d format except, that TIMEAMPMMw.d prints AM or PM at the end of the
time.
-
TIMEw.d writes hours greater than 23:59:59 PM, and
TIMEAMPMw.d does not.
The example table uses the input value of 59083, which
is the SAS time value that corresponds to 4:24:43 p.m.
