Hello,

I have a variable that refers to a date but it is in character format ($39.). The values of this variable are coded differently, example: 11/30/02 or 12/04 or 37294. I need to convert this variable to become date variable with a sas date format, say date=mdy(datevar1) (or elapsed number of days from Jan 1, 1960).

I hope you could help.

Thanks so much.

Kathleen
