Yes, you are correct.  I am just using proc print to list the data.


proc print data = admin (obs=500);
var ID DATE  days  start_date;
run;


However, i want to do some more manipulations with the dates, but I am
unable to do this, as it is being forced as a character value:




1653
1654  proc means data = admin;
1655  var days;
ERROR: Variable days in list does not match type prescribed for this list.
1656  run;

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE MEANS used (Total process time):
      real time           0.03 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds

Thanks for the help!
