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?
