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.
