Running macro with huge loops, and like to print out the end time of each loop in format, such as hhmmss[or with millisecond].
Need this to tell time cost for each loop.
Simply %put "%sysfunc(time())"; does print out time info, but without format, hard to tell.
44497 %put "%sysfunc(time())";
"84736.9679999351"
So why just add a FORMAT to the %SYSFUNC() call?
%put %sysfunc(time(),time12.3);
Or perhaps better use DATETIME() function so you can track jobs that cross midnight.
%put %sysfunc(datetime(),datetime24.3);
%SYSFUNC allows formats:
%put %sysfunc(time(),time8.);
Assign whatever date/time format you want, like this:
%put %sysfunc(datetime(),datetime19.);
So why just add a FORMAT to the %SYSFUNC() call?
%put %sysfunc(time(),time12.3);
Or perhaps better use DATETIME() function so you can track jobs that cross midnight.
%put %sysfunc(datetime(),datetime24.3);
