In a data step

prev_year=year(intnx('month',today(),-1));

@kazimir900 hi and welcome to the SAS Community!

You can do something like this

data _null_;
   yearofprevmonth=year(intnx('month', today(), -1, 'b'));
   put yearofprevmonth=;
run;

[novinosrin]

%let current_date=%sysfunc(today());

%let prev_month=%sysfunc(intnx(mon,&current_date,-1),monyy7.);

%put &=prev_month;
