Dear All

I have a SAS dataset with a variable called acc_date with a Char 6
values as follows:

110305
062705
020205
020205
051005
071705
091405
100305
110605
110305
102305
082505
050405
010705
020705
052705
032105
040105
051905
070305
083005
092405
062505
072605
100305
;

I want to create a new variable that will have SAS date values as
follows:

Acc_date                New_acc_date
110305          03NOV2005
062705          27JUN2005
020205          02FEB2005
020205          02FEB2005
051005          05OCT2005
071705          and so on
091405
100305
110605
110305
102305
082505
050405
010705
020705
052705
032105
040105
051905
070305
083005
092405
062505
072605
100305
;

How can I do that?


Thanks
