I am using sas 9.3. I have a date called pbd_date that displays mmddyy10. Lets say the date is 03/14/2013, how can I get sas to drop the leading zero and display it as 3/14/2013.
 
I haven't done this in a long time, however, it's worth looking at Picture Formats in the documentation. IT contains full instructions on how to create your own format. You should be able to construct a format for your date which does what you need.
If you have trouble, post back and I'll see if I can help further.
