I have this code. I have the error below when I'm on the toto data step.

WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference TODAY not resolved.

Why?

%macro t12;

%let today=%sysfunc(compress(%sysfunc(today(),yymmddd10.),'-'));

%mend;

%t12;

data toto;

itu=put &today;

run;

Or you could put it in the yymmddn8 format (the n means no delimiter):

today=%sysfunc(today(),yymmddn8.);


&today.;

Tough thing.

I realized that this would suffice

    %let today=%sysfunc(compress(%sysfunc(today(),yymmddd10.),'-'));

     data toto;

     itu=&today;

     run;

Thanks.

&today.;

Copy and paste issue from SAS, normally I would copy to notepad first then into here but was in hurry.  The full code was:

%let today=%sysfunc(today(),yymmddn8.);

%put &today.;

Strange it drops the first %keyword.
