Nifty Informat

What do you do if you are reading a date from a file and the owner of the file suddenly decides to change the format of the date?

Use the new anydtdte. informat.

From the SAS documentation:
Reads and extracts date values from DATE, DATETIME, DDMMYY, JULIAN, MMDDYY, MONYY, TIME, YYMMDD, or YYQ informat values


Nice.
