https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Automatically-updating-a-variable-in-conjunction-with-the/m-p/753293#M29866 <P>Hi, I am trying to automate a task I currently do in SAS. Right now I manually update a variable to increment by one each week and then run the rest of the SAS code.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The running of the SAS code consists of exporting SAS datasets to a library and also to shared folders, I have found out how to do this automatically, and realized I can schedule for this task to be done using the scheduler feature. How would I go about updating that variable automatically, all it has to do is go up by one each week. Thanks.</P> Fri, 09 Jul 2021 21:32:30 GMT helloagainoh2 2021-07-09T21:32:30Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Automatically-updating-a-variable-in-conjunction-with-the/m-p/753293#M29866 <P>Hi, I am trying to automate a task I currently do in SAS.
