Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	29

Details

The WEEKDATEw. format writes SAS date values in the form day-of-week, month-name dd, yy (or yyyy), where

dd: is an integer that represents the day of the month.
yy or yyyy: is a two- or four-digit integer that represents the year.

If w is too small to write the complete day of the week and month, SAS abbreviates as needed.

Comparisons

The WEEKDATEw. format is the same as the WEEKDATXw. format except that WEEKDATEXw. prints dd before the month's name.
