SAS Code:
Date=today()-5;
Format Date DOWNAME.;
put "date=" date;
is working and the code has output date as Friday
BUT, the code: if date= "Friday" then put 'Today is =' date; is not working. Can someone help?
A format controls how a value displays, not what to test for equality.
If you want to test a formatted value the you would use Put(variable, formatname.)
If a value is a date then the easiest way to check if date is a specific day of the week is to use the WEEKDAY function.
