When I try to retrieve a date fields from a DB2 table through SAS, the date format is coming as
19JAN2010(sample one).

But a similar query from a different table is showing the retrieved date as 18304.

I need to compare these 2 dates for my processing.

How can I make the date 19JAN2010 to 18304 format so that i can process.
or Is there a way to change the 18304 format to 19JAN2010 format?

Please help.
