WORDDATEw.

Syntax Description

w

Details

The WORDDATEw. format writes SAS date values in the form month-name dd, yyyy, where

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

If the width is too small to write the complete month, SAS abbreviates as necessary.

Comparisons

The WORDDATEw. format is the same as the WORDDATXw. format except that WORDDATXw. prints dd before the month's name.
