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.
Or you could put it in the yymmddn8 format (the n means no delimiter):
today=%sysfunc(today(),yymmddn8.);
&today.;
%let today=%sysfunc(today(),yymmddn8.);
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.
