I'm trying to use SAS (or Sort) to build a report from a DTOC4SYS Capture file. The create data isn't giving me anything recognizable today's date is 7600F1.
The way that the date is parsed is: The first two characters is the year which is added to d'1900'. So, x'76' = d'118' which gives you 2018. Then, x'00F1 = d'241' Then your trusty Julian calendar shows that as Aug 29. So, that is how Vantage stores the date in as compact a format as possible, and also be compatible for year 2000 and beyond.
