run;

Explanation:

This is not a function example program, one feature should be explained: Since the

INPUT statement is reading list input (i.e., one or more spaces between the data values) and

since you need to supply an informat so that the values will be read as SAS date values, an

INFORMAT statement precedes the INPUT statement, indicating that both variables,

DATE1 and DATE2, should be read with the DATE9. informat.

Output:

Listing of Data Set DATES
