Hi all,
I am aware of the function today() which returns today's date. UnIess format it with date9., this is impossible to read.
Once I have formatted it as date9., is there a way to make it character, so it will read "07MAY2014"?
Thanks,
Marco
Well, I use it in footnotes as: %sysfunc(date(),date9.)
I assume, though not tried it that: put(date(),date9.)
Would also work.

How about this
data have;
dt=today();
format dt date9.;
chardate=quote(put(dt,date9.));
run;
proc print;
run;
