Subject:      Can I Ignore the Time Part Safely without affect the value
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hello Guys,

I am changing the datetime Variable which is in format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:SS
(Eg: 2007-01-29T10:27)  into numerical variable to calculate study day
variable (SDTM standards) , While converting them to numerical values I am
using informat of yymmdd10. Using this informat I am getting  numerical
value but I am ignoring the time part, is it right way of  doing ?? is it
going  to make any difference in numerical value of the date ??? I can't
think of possible implication of this , I am thinking that if the time
changes to 24 Hr automatically it would be another day Right ??

Any Inputs ??

thanks
