The datetime values must be in the form ddmmmyy or ddmmmyyyy, followed
by a blank or special character, and hh:mm:ss.ss.

is an integer from 01 through 31 that represents
the day of the month.

is the first three letters of the month
name.
-
yy or yyyy
-
is a two- or four-digit integer that represents
the year.
In the time,
-
hh
-
is the number of hours ranging from 00 through
23,

is the number of minutes ranging from 00
through 59,

is the number of seconds ranging from 00
through 59 with the fraction of a second following the decimal point.
EURDFDTw. requires values
for both the date and the time; however, the ss.ss
portion is optional.
Note:
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)
You can set the language for the SAS session with the
DFLANG= system option. (Because the SAS Installation Representative usually
sets a default language for the site, you may be able to skip this step.)
If you work with dates in multiple languages, you can replace the EUR prefix
with a language prefix. See DFLANG=
for the list of language prefixes. When you specify the language prefix in the informat,
SAS ignores the DFLANG= system option.
This INPUT statement uses the value of the DFLANG= system
option to read the international datetime values in German.

This INPUT statement uses the German language
prefix to read the international datetime values in German. The value of the
DFLANG= option, therefore, is ignored.
