Syntax

WORDDATEw.

specifies the width of the output field.

Default	18
Range	3–32

The WORDDATEw. format writes SAS date values in the form month-name dd, yyyy:

is an integer that represents the day of the month.

yyyy

is a four-digit integer that represents the year.

If the width is too small to write the complete month, SAS abbreviates as necessary.

The WORDDATEw. format is the same as the WORDDATXw. format except that WORDDATXw. prints dd before the month's name.

The example table uses the input value of 19158, which is the SAS date value that corresponds to June 14, 2012.
