Datetime in sas when uploading from access

Datetime in sas when uploading from access

Datetime in sas when uploading from access

(OP)
I created a file in access with a date/time in access 2007.  I changed the input mask and format to read short date.  When I upload to sas it still comes in as a full date/time field.  Is there a way to either force sas to accept the date as a short date or is there a script I need in sas to change it from a date time to a short date (ie   04MAY2002:00:00:00 should be 05/04/2002)

RE: Datetime in sas when uploading from access

datex = datepart(date) /* where date is the variable thats showing as date/time*/

RE: Datetime in sas when uploading from access

(OP)
data lib.MyTable1;
set lib.MyTable;
Billed_Dt = datepart(BILLED_DATE);
format Bill_Dt mmddyy10.;
run;

Now I get what appears to be a sas system date or something
(ie   04MAY2002:00:00:00 becomes 15464,   23APR2002:00:00:00 becomes 15453 )  I attempted to address using a format statement but no luck

RE: Datetime in sas when uploading from access

Put the format on the next line after the set statement.

It's the way sas reads in the pdv
