Creating times stamp on output files

Sir_Highbury — Thu, 10 Nov 2016 08:51:48 GMT

Dear experts,

how can should I adjust the following data set?

data time_stamp; 
input status $ date time;
 datalines;
start '%put %sysfunc(date(),worddate.).' '%put %sysfunc(time(),timeampm.)'
;

Thanks, SH

Are you trying to take part in the Obfuscated SAS Code Contest?

data time_stamp;
status = 'start';
date = put(date(),worddate.);
time = put(time(),timeampm.);
run;

achieves the same, works and is more readable.

Macro triggers don't work in cards; or datalines; blocks.

What are you trying to do, anyway?
