Sample 24605: Creating a SAS® date or SAS time from a SAS datetime
Create a SAS date value, the number of days since
January 1, 1960, from a SAS datetime value using the
DATEPART function.
Create a SAS time value, the number of seconds since
midnight, from a SAS datetime value using the TIMEPART
function.
Note:
A SAS datetime is stored as the number of seconds since
January 1, 1960.
In this sample, the DATETIME function could be used
to create START instead of using SAS datetime constant syntax.
