SYSTIME

alveed01 — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 21:47:24 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to export (by proc export) an archive with the name in this file has a SYSTIME.

For ex:

PROC EXPORT DATA= grupo
OUTFILE= "&rote\HORA_&SYSTIME"
DBMS=EXCEL REPLACE;
SHEET="Utilizar_esse";
RUN;

But the problem is Windows dont recognize the name file results, because generates a special caracter in the name (colum):

c:\temp\Hour_10:57.XLS

So, the sas log file indicates to me that the file was succedes generate but is not real when I see in the Windows Explorer.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks.

I'd just wrap the systime macro variable in a call to the translate function (see: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a000215153.htm) changing the colon to an underscore.
