HI Team,
could you explain why there has to be braces after date function!!
title "%sysfunc(date(),word date.) absence report"
Thanks
To differentiate it from a variable called date.
date() is a function that returns todays date, just a function that doesn't require any parameters, so nothing inside the brackets.
data test;
a=date();
date='01Jan2012'd;
run;
Hi,
Thanks so very much for the example.
Regards
Hi,
I could not mark this answer as Right Answer. Some technical error.
