DATE/TIME Return Issue

hnb_matt_d — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 23:21:17 GMT

data _null_;
call symput('repdate',put(today(),datetime. -L));
run;

%put repdate : &repdate;

This is producing 01JAN60:06:12:35 and I need the current system date/time, if at all possible.

data _null_;
call symput('repdate',put(datetime(),datetime. -L));
run;

%put repdate : &repdate;

Gives me:

%put repdate : &repdate;
repdate : 16MAR21:19:36:18

Well... Thanks to @Kurt_Bremser for his 10/17/2018 0302 hours post response to a similar question. I was using today() which produces the date, whereas datetime() will provide the date and time, which can be formatted accordingly.
