I'm trying to write the current datetime to my log when my program ends. I'm obviously not getting my expected result. Any ideas where I'm going wrong here?
data _null_;
dt_stamp = today();
PUT 'Progam Stopped: ' dt_stamp datetime20.;
run;
Progam Stopped: 01JAN1960:05:45:32
Back to the future!
The TODAY() function doesn't return a date-time value. It just returns a date. You could switch to DATETIME() instead.

That worked for me. Thanks very much.
