I have the following SAS code:

proc export data=work.dataset 
outfile="&ExportLoc./ABC_%sysfunc(today(),yymmdd10)_PROVIDER_TRIGGER.xlsx"    
dbms=xlsx replace;
 run;  
how do I get SAS to export out to a YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format in the filename instead?

With a picture format:

 

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

%put %sysfunc(datetime(), mytmefmt.);
