Herman,

Try the yymmdd8. format, that should work for you here.

I have (in a textfile) a date variable on the form yyyymmdd, e.g. 20061224
(X-mas). How do I do to get it into my SAS-dataset as a date variable?

data rantor;
 infile "H:\lmrtor.txt" dlm = ';';
 input date WHICHFORMATHERE??? amount company $;
run;
