Hi ,

I am looking for auto date fetching;

e.g start date='05feb2018'd 

i want to fetch auto date for every next month i.e. 5th day of every month should be the start date.

.eg. for next month when the program is auto run it should fetch the start date as 5th day of next month.

 

Similarly end date should be last day of every current month.

e.g end_date='28thfeb2018'd for feb ...for march it should fetch the last date e.g. end_date='31March2018'.

 

Also let me know how can we code it in EG using the query builder.

 

Thanks

intnx gives you all the flexibility. You should really look into it.

 

data want;
format startDate endDate yymmdd10.;
startDate = intnx("day",intnx("month", today(),1),4);
endDate = intnx("month", today(),0,"end");
run;

proc print data=want; run;

Use the date interval function intnx:

 

data want;
format startDate endDate yymmdd10.;
startDate = intnx("day",intnx("month", today(),0),4);
endDate = intnx("month", today(),0,"end");
run;

proc print data=want; run;
