DOWNAMEw.

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	9
Range:	1-32
Tip:	If you omit w, SAS prints the entire name of the day.

If necessary, SAS truncates the name of the day to fit the format width. For example, the DOWNAME2. prints the first two letters of the day name.

The example table uses the input value of 13589, which is the SAS date value that corresponds to March 16, 1997.
