hey guys,
so I use this code to calculate the total processing time the sas program took to run but it is reporting a negative value (espicially when the program runs for more than 1 day):
%let datetime_start = %sysfunc(TIME()) ;
%put START TIME: %sysfunc(datetime(),datetime14.);
then at the end of the program I put this:
%put END TIME: %sysfunc(datetime(),datetime14.);
%put PROCESSING TIME: %sysfunc(putn(%sysevalf(%sysfunc(TIME())-&datetime_start.),mmss.)) (mm:ss) ;
not sure what to fix?
You need to use datetime value if the program running time is more than 1 day. Make them both datatime.
%let datetime_start = %sysfunc(dateTIME()) ;
%put PROCESSING TIME: %sysfunc(putn(%sysevalf(%sysfunc(dateTIME())-&datetime_start.),mmss.)) (mm:ss) ;
