You need to use the anydtdtm32.
informat with input
function as shown below:
data test;
mydate_char='2014-02-18T16:02:00.000';
mydate_num=input(mydate_char, anydtdtm32.);
format mydate_num datetime22.;
run;
/*mydate_num:18FEB2014:16:02:00*/
Question
i have a table with a column which is a char type. The values are all in the format IS8601DT format '2014-02-18T16:02:00.000'. Is there a function or other simple way to convert this in any num date format?
Thanks in advance.
