Hi All,
I want to create a variable which shows the previous hour.
The format of this variable will be YYYYMMDDHH. --> ($CHAR10.)
Assume that; now it is 2014102322, and I want to create my variable with 2014102321 which means it is one hour before the current time.
If it is 2014102400 then the value should be 2014102323.
How can I code that?
Thanks,
Onuralp
you can create your own datetime format to get the what you want. The INTNX function can be used to add or subtract datetime intervals, see sample
below:
proc format;
picture xyyyymmddhh (default=10)
low - high = '%Y%m%0d%0H' (datatype=datetime)
;
run;
data test;
now = datetime();
length now_c10 $ 10;
now_c10 = put(now, xyyyymmddhh.);
now1h = intnx("dthour", now, -1);
now_c101h = put(now1h, xyyyymmddhh.);
format now datetime22.3;
run;

Thanks Bruno.
This is definitely what I was looking for.
