I am currently trying to assign a Year macro that will show the year : like below
%let yr = year(&date.);
%let dag = day(&date.);
%let yydd = compress(&yr.||&dag.);
For e.g. NAME = D20130719
Thanks
Hi Allistair,
Please try the following:
%let year = %sysfunc(year("&sysdate"d));
%let month = %sysfunc(putn(%sysfunc(month("&sysdate"d)),Z2.));
%let day = %sysfunc(putn(%sysfunc(day("&sysdate"d)),Z2.));
%let combined = D&year.&month.&day;
%put &combined;
Hi Arnoux
will try that out now.
Thank you!
You could also create a Picture Format.
PROC FORMAT ;
PICTURE DYYMMDD LOW-HIGH = "D"'%Y%0m%0d'
(DATATYPE = DATE) ;
RUN ;
%LET WANT = %SYSFUNC(PUTN("&SYSDATE."D,DYYMMDD.));
%PUT ************** &WANT.;
LOG:
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable WANT resolves to D20130723
************** D20130723
