Hi SAS Experts,
I need to create an XML file that has a unique ID every time I generte it.
The data fo create the XML is extracted from a sas data set using proc sql and now I wonder
how to generate a unique timestamp, preferable something just numbers.
proc sql;
create table VDR as
select
%sysfunc(datetime(),datetime18.)
from sashelp.class;
run;
Any ideas?
Hi,
proc sql;
select *, put(datetime(),datetime18.) as timestamp from sashelp.class;
quit;
Regards,
Manohar
