I have following sas view with where condition. First time I pass the value of User_date as 1Jan2016 and view become fixed. 

 

Now if I change the user date to 2Jan2016, it shows me 1Jan data. I tried it with diferent session but view is resulting in 1 Jan records.

 

I want to have view with flexibility to show me different record if I change the value of User_date.

 

proc sql;

create view temp_view as

select *

from table1 where RUN_DATE = &USER_DATE;

quit;

I don't have SAS at my fingertips right to test, bet perhaps symget() could work?
If not, store you dynamic value in a table and use it in a inner join/sub query in the view.
