Dear colleagues,
I have a text variable in the form of "DD/MM/YYYY", but this is only a
text variable.

I would like to have it as a real date variable. Could someone
indicate what is the code for this translation?

After I would like to apply a format to it so that the SAS date still
appear in this format "DD/MM/YYYY". What would be the code to apply a
format to this date variable?

Kind regards,

BC
