data _null_;
BPM = INTNX('Month',&pbd_date,-1,'b');/*1st day LM*/
EPM = INTNX('Month',&pbd_date,-1,'e');/*Last day last Month*/
CALL SYMPUT('pmb',BPM);
CALL SYMPUT('pme',EPM);
run;
%put &pmb &pme
I want to assign a variable name called LastMth to encompass a range between BPM and EPM (or all of last month). I want to be able to use this in a datastep to capture records that fall within the entire month(last month).
For example something like LastMth = range between &pmb and &pme ??
then I want to use it in a datastep like this
data want_&LastMth
set something;
run;
could you please give us some sample data and expected output data?
i'm NOT suggesting this is the best way to accomplish what you want, but are your data and problem similar to the one described at: https://communities.sas.com/message/185021#185021
If you want monthly data try yearmon7. or yymm6. format for your dates which will group all data into months instead of days.
