Hi.
I am New in sas di, and I need to start my job invoking the sas table with most recent creation date between a library with a lot of tables with the same prefix, for example: I need to use the table clients_201709 within the following options
clients_201708
clients_201709
clients_201710
thanks in Advanced for all your help.
That's first of all a design question before it comes to implementation. How do you know which month to pick-up?
You can use macro variables for file names (i.e. clients_&yyyymm) so once you're able to populate such a macro variable things become simple.
