Tip:

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

Details

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

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

You can set the language for the SAS session with the DFLANG= system option. (Because the SAS Installation Representative usually sets a default language for the site, you may be able to skip this step.) If you work with dates in multiple languages, you can replace the EUR prefix with a language prefix. See for the list of language prefixes. When you specify the language prefix in the format, SAS ignores the DFLANG= option.

Comparisons

The EURDFWKXw. format is the same as the EURDFWDXw. format except that EURDFWKXw. prints dd after the month's name.

Examples

The example table uses the input value 15344, which is the SAS date value that corresponds to January 4, 2002. The first PUT statement assumes the DFLANG= system option is set to German.

options dflang=German;

The second PUT statement uses the German language prefix in the format to write the name of the month in German. The third PUT statement uses the Italian language prefix in the format to write the name of the month in Italian. The value of the DFLANG= option, therefore, is ignored.
