DATEAMPMw.d

Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	19
Range:	7-40
Tip:	SAS requires a minimum w value of 13 to write AM or PM. For widths between 10 and 12, SAS writes a 24-hour clock time.

d

optionally specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the seconds value.

Requirement:	must be less than w
Range:	0-39

Note: If w-d< 17, SAS truncates the decimal values. [cautionend]

Details

The DATEAMPMw.d format writes SAS datetime values in the form ddmmmyy:hh:mm:ss.ss, where

dd: is an integer that represents the day of the month.
mmm: is the first three letters of the month name.
yy: is a two-digit integer that represents the year.
hh: is an integer that represents the hour.
mm: is an integer that represents the minutes.
ss.ss: is the number of seconds to two decimal places.

Comparisons

The DATEAMPMw.d format is similar to the DATETIMEMw.d format except that DATEAMPMw.d prints AM or PM at the end of the time.

Examples

The example table uses the input value of 1347453583, which is the SAS datetime value that corresponds to 12:39:43 PM on September 12, 2002.
