I have an urgent situation. I am trying to export excel file into current date and current time.
Will be generating two files each day and final output needs to be like below.
File should be named as such [mmddyyyyhhmmss]_ABC
Please help urgently. Thank you.
Create a timestamp!
proc format;
picture myfmt low-high = '%Y%0m%0d_%0H%0M%0S' (datatype = datetime) ;
run ;
%let timestamp=%sysfunc(datetime(), myfmt.);
