Hello,

 

I want to get the exact datetime 3 weeks from now. However, the intnx function will always return the time 00:00:000. Any idea on this issue? 

Here is an example, thanks.

 

data example;
a=intnx('dtweek',datetime(),-3);
a1=put(a,datetime22.3);
b=datetime();
b1=put(b,datetime22.3);
run;

The INTNX function has a modifier, which if you set it to 'S' ought to give you the answer you want.

Yes, adding 'same' to the function fix the problem.
Thanks.
Here is the revision.

data example;
a=intnx('dtweek',datetime(),-3,'same');
a1=put(a,datetime22.3);
b=datetime();
b1=put(b,datetime22.3);
