Hi.
I've just created a text variable which looks like a date variable by
disaggregating the following and reassembling it:
date year month day
29/04/2009 2009 4 29
the trouble is the 'date' is not in a date format but a text format.
i've tried these two options
format date2 ddmmyyyy8.;
length date2 ddmmyyyy8.;
but none of them works.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
