Hello,
I have read into SAS a Netezza table where one of the columns is a date ( The column type was date ) .
Now I am trying to create several sub-tables in SAS, but I'm having trouble comparing dates in SAS.
Code to create first SAS dataset
proc sql;
connect to netezza
(server=xxxx database=xxxx PORT = xxxx user=xxxx password="&mysaspasswd"
connection=global);
create table SASDATA.WEEKLY_REPORT_RT_LOAD as
select * from connection to netezza
(select a.* from WEEKLY_REPORT_RT_LOAD a order by 1,2);
run;
code for subtable
%let starttime = today() - 30;
proc sql;
create table sasdata.rtload_tab_1 as
select * from SASDATA.WEEKLY_REPORT_RT_LOAD
where marketdate >= &starttime;
run;
below is the picture of the column (variable) marketdate that i am trying to filter on.
While the table is created. The data has not been filtered by the date as i would have thought.
As a matter of fact it is not being filtered at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
From the displayed values of MARKETDATE it is a DATETIME variable and the STARTTIME you created is a DATE variable.
I would try modifying the sql to
where datepart(marketdate) ge &starttime;

Thanks. That worked like a charm.
