Hi,
I want to check whether sales date is greater than current date or not. How can I do
I have written using oracle sqlra
select sales_date, sysdate from sales
where sales_date >sysdate
How to write in sas
You could use today():
proc sql;
select sales_date format=mmddyy10.
from sales
where sales_date>today();
quit;

Thanks linin for your great help
Right.
Or use the system macro variable &SYSDATE9.
where sales_date > "&SYSDATE9"d;
which may return a different value from the TODAY() function, since it contains the date that the SAS job/session began executing.
TODAY function will return the actual date.
More on TODAY function here:

And SYSDATE9 here:

Or date().

Just curious ... do we know for sure that SALES_DATE is actually a date rather than a datetime? After all, this data appears to be coming from Oracle.
