Answer / vineeta
The date will be stored as the number of days since January
1,1960. Internally SAS stores dates as no. of days hence it
becomes a numeric value on which computations can be done.
Use a date informat to read the date eg. DATE9. and u will
get the number of days in the output dataset.
