Reads time values and determines whether the values are hours,
minutes, or seconds; reads the output of the STIMER system option.
-
w
-
specifies the width of the input field.
The STIMER informat reads performance
statistics that the STIMER system option writes to the SAS log.
The informat reads time values and determines whether
the values are hours, minutes, or seconds based on the presence of decimal
points and colons:
-
If no colon is present, the value is the number
of seconds.
-
If a single colon is present, the value before
the colon is the number of minutes. The value after the colon is the number
of seconds.
-
If two colons are present, the sequence of time
is hours, minutes, and then seconds.
In all cases, the result is a SAS time value.
The input values for STIMER
must be in one of the following
forms:
-
ss
-
ss.ss
-
mm:ss
-
mm:ss.ss
-
hh:mm:ss
-
hh:mm:ss.ss
where
-
ss
-
is an integer that represents the number
of seconds.
-
mm
-
is an integer that represents the number
of minutes.
-
hh
-
is an integer that represents the number
of hours.
