You can separate the year, month, and day values by blanks

all the values. You can also place blanks before and after the date. Make
sure the width of the input field allows space for blanks and special characters.

SAS interprets a two-digit year as belonging to the
100-year span that is defined by the YEARCUTOFF= system option. ![[cautend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
