Subject:      dates and merging

Hi--
I am having a problem with dates in SAS.  I have 2 datasets, one was
created in excel.  I am trying to merge the 2 datasets by a field that is
contained in both datasets "visit_date".  Even if the 2 fields match, SAS
is not recognizing some of the observations.  How do I format the dates, in
sas, to be read the same way?
