proc print data=ex1; run;

***没有informat: sas 不懂10/21/1946是一个日期值, 所以date variable全是missing***;

data ex2;

input x y z $ age date;

informat date mmddyy10.;

run;

proc print data=ex2; run;

data ex3;

informat date mmddyy10.;

format date yymmdd10.;

proc print data=ex3; run;

***INFORMAT can also help you modify the length of charaters and change -9999, -999 as missing values.

***FORMAT can help you print the age not like 13, 56, 69 but 'Young', 'Old', 'Old'; Please see my next post.

proc format;

invalue newfmt -9999, -999 =. OTHER = (|1.|);

value agefmt low-<40='Young' 40-high='Old';

run;

data ex4;

informat x newfmt. y 2. z $15. date mmddyy10.;

format date yymmdd10. age agefmt.;

input x y z age date;

datalines;

run;

PROC PRINT DATA=EX4;

RUN;
