WEEKVw.

Syntax Description

w: specifies the width of the output field.

Default:11

Range:3–200

Details

The WEEKVw. format writes the various formats depending on the specified width. Algorithm V calculates the SAS date value, with the number-of-the-week value represented as a decimal number in the range 01–53, with a leading zero and maximum value of 53. Weeks begin on a Monday and week 1 of the year is the week that includes both January 4th and the first Thursday of the year. If the first Monday of January is the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, the preceding days are part of the last week of the preceding year. For example, the fifth week of the year would be represented as 06.

Refer to the following table for widths, formats, and examples:
