DATE AND TIME

[Di_Pat]

I have an urgent situation. I am trying to export excel file into current date and current time. 

Will be generating two files each day and final output needs to be like below. 

File should be named as such [mmddyyyyhhmmss]_ABC

Please help urgently. Thank you.

Create a timestamp!

proc format;
  picture myfmt low-high = '%Y%0m%0d_%0H%0M%0S' (datatype = datetime) ;
run ;

%let timestamp=%sysfunc(datetime(), myfmt.);

marco variable is created but proc export part is not working 

data _null_ ;
format dt mmddyy10. tm time. ;
dt = today() ;
tm = timepart(datetime()) ;
charval = compress(put(dt,mmddyy10.)||put(tm,time.), ":/") ;
call symput("dateval",charval) ;
run;

%put &dateval ;

proc export data= abc 
outfile='C:\Users\mno\New folder\&dateval..xlsx'
dbms = xlsx replace ; putnames=no;
run;

final output is generated with name as "&dateval.xlsx" 

no error in log.

Thank you. This works in proc export. There was a typo in my datastep. Thank you.
