# 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.
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
Supported date formats:
|
|
|
|
* 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");
|
|
folder="/Shared Data/table storage location";
|
|
update_rule=(delete);
|
|
run;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
