-
w
-
specifies the width of the input field.
The date values must be in the form yyyymm or yymm, where
-
yy or yyyy
-
is a two- or four-digit integer that represents
the year.
-
mm
-
is a two-digit integer that represents the
month.
The N in the informat name must
be used and indicates that you cannot separate the year and month values by
blanks or by special characters. SAS automatically adds a day value of 01
to the value to make a valid SAS date variable.
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)
