How to generate the month name from a numeric date value
Task: I have a SAS date and wanted to create a variable with the month name.
Here is how to do it......
Use MONNAMEw. format which is simple and easy. You need to be using SAS 9.X versions to make it work.
/*Use MONNAMEw. format*/
data month;
input date:mmddyy8.;
month_name=put(date,monname3.);
datalines;
01/15/04
02/29/04
07/04/04
08/18/04
