Paul

Are you running 9.2 and if so, have you tried using the Excel Libname?

Here is a sample that I keep. In your case, you would need to use a datetime
informat.

Nat


libname test 'c:\park\TestReadTime.xls'  ;
;
Data test;
     set test.'test$'n (sasdatefmt=( time ='time8.'));** this is needed to
read a time value;
run;
libname test clear;
run;

Thanks for the tip but it seems to have been the format defaulted to date
rather than datetime.
