Format datetime()

[ijm_wf]

How can I get the current datetime() in a mm/dd/yyyy format?

[PaigeMiller]

Example:

data want;
    now=datetime();
    format now mdyampm16.;
run;

[Ksharp]

proc format;
picture fmt
 low-high='%0m/%0d/%0Y' (datatype=datetime);
run;
data want;
    now=datetime();
    format now fmt.;
run;
