data _null_;
call symput('repdate',put(today(),datetime. -L));
run;
%put repdate : &repdate;
This is producing 01JAN60:06:12:35 and I need the current system date/time, if at all possible.
data _null_;
call symput('repdate',put(datetime(),datetime. -L));
run;
%put repdate : &repdate;
Gives me:
%put repdate : &repdate;
repdate : 16MAR21:19:36:18
Well... Thanks to @Kurt_Bremser for his 10/17/2018 0302 hours post response to a similar question. I was using today() which produces the date, whereas datetime() will provide the date and time, which can be formatted accordingly.
