Hi,
 
        You should look at the "input" and "put" function in your base SAS
manual.  Example:  x=input(string,yymmdd6.);
                   calculation....
                   string=put(x,yymmdd6.);
 
                                Regards,
 
                                        Bernard Tremblay
