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.

displayed source

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:

proc metalib;
  omr (library="Your Library");
  folder="/Shared Data/table storage location";
  update_rule=(delete);
run;

If you have other dates / datetimes / times you would like us to support, do get in touch!
