Hi Gurus,
I would like to ask if anyone know how to dynamically assign the output file name with current system datetime ?
I have attached the sample.
Thank you for your help
You might try to use one of the automatic macro variables that contain time information. Although I'm not sure if it breaks EG's dataset tracking (making creating process flows harder).
data x_%sysfunc(translate(%sysfunc(datetime(),datetime20.),_,:));
input col1 $ col2 $ col3 $;
x=catx(',',of col1-col3);
cards;
s y x
;
run;
