Intck Function - Log WINDOW FULL message

AZIQ1 — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 22:32:05 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to calculate age using intck function and am getting "Log Window Full" pop up message (multiple times) during the run, any insights what am I doing wrong here. The date formats are ddmmyy10.

data test2
set test1;
AgeR = intck('day',date1, date2);
put AgeR;

run;

You PUT statement generates one line of output in the log for every record in your data set. If you are testing code I suggest using an option to only put a few values, possibly using a smaller test set or the data set option obs=.

Or remove the PUT.

Secondarily (not affecting your original question), you don't need INTCK to calculate the number of days between two dates. Sufficient:

AgeR = date2 - date1;

This simple formula is not working somehow, do I need to change the format?
