Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the input field.

Default:	4
Range:	4-6

Details

The date values must be in the form yyyymm or yymm, where

yy oryyyy: is a two- or four-digit integer that represents the year.
mm: is a two-digit integer that represents the month.

The N in the informat name must be used and indicates that you cannot separate the year and month values by blanks or by special characters. SAS automatically adds a day value of 01 to the value to make a valid SAS date variable.

Note: SAS interprets a two-digit year as belonging to the 100-year span that is defined by the YEARCUTOFF= system option. [cautionend]
