Comments: To: allensk@SMARTNET.NET
Hi Shirlee,

        You have to convert back your date to a SAS date.  Try something
like this:

3315  data dummy;
3316    input x 6.;
3317    x=input(put(x,6.),mmddyy6.);
3318    put x= date9.;
3319  cards;
(It was :102396)

X=23OCT1996
NOTE: The data set WORK1.DUMMY has 1 observations and 1 variables.
NOTE: Compressing data set WORK1.DUMMY decreased size by 0.00 percent.
      Compressed is 1 pages; un-compressed would require 1 pages.
NOTE: DATA statement used:
      real time           1.591 seconds
      cpu time            0.141 seconds


3321  ;
3322  run;


                Good luck!
