I need to import a table from an access database and I only want the records that were entered prior to the date that I run the import. Data are continuously entered into the database and I want to avoid importing incomplete records. I have a variable "entrydate", can I use a WHERE statement with the TODAY() function in PROC IMPORT? Or do I just need to filter those data from the sas dataset created by the import?

Have a look at the SAS DOC on PROC IMPORT - consider the OUT= and the "data-set-options" specification for the WHERE= clause).

Yes, but I'm having trouble calling today's date within the IMPORT procedure.

The problem was due to different formats and inclusion of the time. Here's the solution:

where=(datepart(entrydate) ne datepart(datetime())) Message was edited by: DDC
