# Data Controller for SAS® - Dates & Datetimes
## Overview
Dates & datetimes are actually stored as plain numerics in regular SAS tables. In order for the Data Controller to recognise these values as dates / datetimes a format must be applied.

2021-05-12 19:29:24 +00:00
Supported date formats:
2021-05-12 19:29:24 +00:00
* DATE.
* DDMMYY.
* MMDDYY.
* YYMMDD.
* E8601DA.
* B8601DA.
Supported datetime formats:
* DATETIME.
Supported time formats:
* TIME.
* HHMM.
In SAS 9, this format must also be present / updated in the metadata view of the (physical) table to be displayed properly. This can be done using DI Studio, or by running the following (template) code:
```sas
proc metalib;
omr (library="Your Library");
2021-05-12 19:29:24 +00:00
folder="/Shared Data/table storage location";
update_rule=(delete);
run;
```
