I run a script everyday. And the below variable assigned is changed everyday. I want to avoid manually changing.
%let currdt=20150708;
How to automate the variable assignment to today()? Using the minimal coding.
Something like this %let currdt=put(today(),yymmdd10.)?
If I use DATA _NULL_ then the variable can only be used inside the datastep. This variable will be used everywhere in script.
data _NULL_;
call symputx('currdt' ,put(today(), yymmddn8.));
output;
run;
data _NULL_;
call symputx('currdt' ,put(today(), yymmddn8.));
output;
run;
As you are not creating any dataset, there is no need to use output statement in the code.
data _NULL_;
call symputx('currdt' ,put(today(), yymmddn8.));
run;
%let currdt=%sysfunc(today(),yymmdd10.) ;
