Syntax Description

Range:	1-32

Details

The EURDFDNw. format writes SAS date values in the form day-of-the-week, where

day-of-the-week: is represented as 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, and so on.

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 DFLANG= for the list of language prefixes. When you specify the language prefix in the format, SAS ignores the DFLANG= option.

Examples

The example table uses the input value 15342, which is the SAS date value that corresponds to January 2, 2002. The first PUT statement assumes that the DFLANG= system option is set to Spanish.

options dflang=spanish;

The second PUT statement uses the Spanish language prefix in the format to write the day of the week in Spanish. The third PUT statement uses the Italian lanaguage prefix in the format to write the day of the week in Italian. The value of the DFLANG= option, therefore, is ignored.
