Our main platforms are SQL Server 2000, Cognos Report Net, and SAS. I'm fairly new to SAS (I've played with it...

    SAS Proc SQL error question

    Klaz, You were dead on right! datAdmit is a DATETIME in SQL Server, but I guess when my SAS library brings the data in from SQL Server, this field is recognized as a numeric SAS date variable. Because of this, I didn't realize that within a Proc Sql step, SAS still needs to have dates...

    Hi everyone! Thanks to all who responded. I will be implementing the recommendations shortly. And I know!, I don't know why this table, which is not 'Normalized' BTW, was created with varchars storing date data. Go figure! Of course, I'm trying to clean up the mess to get a critical report...

    VB6 - Crystal Reports Integration into VB6

    Ido, Thanks for the tip! I will mainly use Crystal with existing data sources (AS400 - DB2, Access, Excel). So I could play with the 4.6 version by doing a custom install of my Visual Studio? If so, that's great! Nick

    Hi All! I've got reports that use Parameter queries as their data source. Is it possible to print in the header of my report, the last date entered as a month/yyyy?
