Hi Everyone

I concatenated various variables such as dy, mon, yr etc to bring create a variable in this form (19APR2000 22:08). Now I am trying to convert 19APR2000 22:08 to datetime format, to enable me to do calculations such as difference between two datetime variables etc. . I tried using

input(dttm, datetime13.); format dttm_pk datetime13.;

but it just doesn't do it. I get the following error message

NOTE: Invalid argument to function INPUT

Could someone please help me out here. Thanks in advance.

Sharon
