Subject:      convert the date format from mmddyy to ddmmyy
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Dear All,

i have two date-related variables such as admission from and
discharge to the hospital. Both are in the american format. That is,
they are both read as MMDDYY. I am wondering how i would convert them
to the British format such as DDMMYY. Please, note that i tried
unsuccessfully the mdy(mm,dd.yy) format as mdy(dd,mm,yy) but it did
not work.

I would be most grateful if you would send me any suggestions
particularly if any SAS statements would be offered.

Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to consider my
request. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
Panos

Panos Papanikolaou
