Date Operations - Text Dates Tab
Select the
Text Dates tab of the
Date Operations dialog box to access the options described here.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Transform Methods | Use the options in the Transform Methods group box to either transform a date variable into a variable containing date text labels with numeric equivalents or transform a variable containing text labels to a date variable. |
| Text Label Compatibility | When the Date Variable to Variable with Text Labels option button is selected, use the options in the Text Label Compatibility group box to specify the creation of either Version 6 text labels (the format of the text label of the new variable will be the same as the original date variable) or Version 5 text labels (the format will always be MONDD_YY, e.g., SEP05_74). When the Variable with Text Labels to Date Variable option button is selected, use the Format drop-down list under Variables (see below) to specify the format of the new date variable. |
| Variables | The options in the Variables group box are used to specify both the Source and Destination variables. Note that to display a list of the current variables in the data file, double-click (or press F2) in these fields. |
