Subject:      PL/SQL to SAS Date Conversion

Greetings SAS-Lers!

I would like to ask for help on an issue involving Dates in PL/SQL.

Right now I extract data from a PeopleSoft database nightly and store it in
a Csv file which I later upload into SAS.

The date column I import looks like this:

"03/21/2012  9:12:48PM"
"03/22/2012  9:15:48PM"
"03/23/2012  10:12:48AM"
...

I would like to eventually obtain a SAS date-time value with which I could
use to rank-order the Cases within each subject.

I have tried playing with PeopleSoft's default settings for outputting the
date in this form, to little avail.

Please help.
