how to show just month name
Create a new variable whose value is a month name. Note: If your numeric is a SAS date value (the number of days since January 1, 1960) you can use the MONNAMEw. format to either display the SAS date as its month name or create a new variable using the PUT function. See Sample 1. If you have a numeric with values 1-12, you'll need a user-defined format. See Sample 2.
