-
w
-
specifies the width of the input field.
The date values must be in the form ddmmyy or ddmmyyyy, where
-
dd
-
is an integer from 01 through 31 that represents
the day of the month.
-
mm
-
is an integer from 01 through 12 that represents
the month.
-
yy or yyyy
-
is a two-digit or four-digit integer that
represents the year.
You can place blanks
and other special characters between day, month, and year values. However,
if you use delimiters, place them between all the values. Blanks can also
be placed before and after the date. Make sure the width of the input field
allows space for blanks and special characters.
Note: SAS interprets a two-digit
year as belonging to the 100-year span that is defined by the YEARCUTOFF=
system option. ![[cautionend]](../common.hlp/images/cautend.gif)
