Subject:      SAS Date informat
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hey,
        I was wondering if there was an informat that read raw data files
that had SAS dates in them, as dates.
        E.g., I use a data step to convert 2 digit year data into 4 digit
year data, then use the FILE statement to store it back into a raw data
file.
        Is there an informat that can then take that data file and
recognize the 5+ digit number as a SAS date when it's read back into a
data set?

        Y'obt.,
                Rob Bowell
