I'd like to add a column to an existing query in EG that displays today's date in the result.
column=today();
I don't know how to do that in EG using GUI
i assume there must be code editor or something, you would open up and find a sql query, if this is true
add the assignment in the select clause
today() as new_column
If you wish to use "Query Builder" point-and-click feature in SAS EG instead of programming then in query builder you have and option "Computed Column" at top right in query builder. Then navigate New>Advanced expression> Add TODAY() in expression window> assign column name, format and length accordingly.
