Syntax Description

specifies the width of the input field.

Default:	10
Range:	7-32

Details

The general form of a Japanese date is eyymmdd, where

e: is the first letter of the name of the emperor (Meiji, Taisho, Showa, or Heisei).
yy: is an integer that represents the year.
mm: is an integer from 01 through 12 that represents the month.
dd: is an integer from 01 through 31 that represents the day of the month.

The e value can be separated from the integers by a period. If you omit e, SAS uses the current emperor. You can separate the year, month, and day values by blanks or any nonnumeric character. However; if delimiters are used, place them between all the values. If you omit delimiters, be sure to use a leading zero for days or months that are less than 10.

Examples

input nengo_date nengo8.;
put nengo_date date9.;
