Hi ,

 

I need help creating one dataset which should contain two variables 

B_date = today's date and start time 12:00:00 am 

E_date = today's date and end time 11:59:59 pm 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @kajal_30 

 

I you only need macrovariables, you can define a %let statement:

%let b_date=%sysfunc(dhms(%sysfunc(today()),0,0,0));
%let e_date=%sysfunc(dhms(%sysfunc(today()),23,59,59));
Best,
