Subject:      Convert month variable from character to numeric using 9.1
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.edu

i have a dataset with month stored as a separate variable as mmm.
(JAN).
I need to convert this to a numeric field so that i can use the mdy
function.

Can someone please help me convert the month field to numeric.
I have tried the input function and it leaves my new variable blank.

Thank you!
