Details

The MINGUOw. format writes SAS date values in the form yyyymmdd, where

yyyy: is an integer that represents the year.
mm: is an integer that represents the month.
dd: is an integer that represents the day of the month.

The Taiwanese calendar uses 1912 as the base year (01/01/01 is January 1, 1912). Dates prior to 1912 appear as a series of asterisks. Year values do not roll around after 100 years; instead, they continue to increase.

Examples

The example table uses the following input values:

12054 is the SAS date value that corresponds to January 1, 1993.
18993 is the SAS date value that corresponds to January 1, 2012.
-20088 is the SAS date value that corresponds to January 1, 1905.
