%let containing today's date

GreggB — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 15:20:34 GMT

Code:

%let test=3701_Prelim_Score_Roster - %sysfunc(today(),ddmmyyn6.);

I want this to resolve to 3701_Prelim_Score_Roster - 12DEC17 instead of 3701_Prelim_Score_Roster - 151217.

Simple, all you'd need to do is just change the format in the %sysfunc:

%sysfunc(today(),date7.);
