Hello All,
I've started some basic coding with SAS and need help from the group on the following:
Requirement:
1. Every Monday, I've to run a SAS script to read SAS data set for the last week (Sunday to Saturday) and append to a master table, XYZ. Every Monday, last week's data needs to be extracted and appended to the master table XYZ
2. The dataset is stored as sas dataset with daily time stamp (so that I know which data row belongs to what date). Example - Sales20180701.sas7bdat, Sales20180702.sas7bdat and so on
Question:
How can I read the dataset every Monday for the last week and then append it to a Master table, XYZ with a datestamp?
I apologize if the question is very basic. Thanks.
Run a do loop from today() - 8 to today() - 2. Format these dates with yymmddn8. and use them to build a string with the dataset names (separated by blanks). After the loop, use call symput to create a macro variable. Use that macro variable in the set statement of a data step to concatenate all datasets.

Thank you. I will let you know my coding result. Appreciate your help.
