I need to find the highest record in a table ("DATA_ARQUIVO" field).
I'm trying to use the Create Table without success.
Any ideas to help me?
Thanks.
Hi, I would use an Extract transform. Map the DATA_ARQUIVO column with an expression MAX(DATA_ARQUIVO).
The essence of the code would be:
%put %str(NOTE: Mapping columns ...);
proc sql;
create table work.W36LRL as
select
(max(DATA_ARQUIVO)) as DATA_ARQUIVO length = 8
from &SYSLAST
;
quit;
Hope this helps,
- Jan.
