Hello,
We have a folder with year (folder2014, folder2015) and every new year, we have to modify the libname to read the current year. Is there a way to subsutiute the year with the %sysfunc(year("&sysdate"d));
LIBNAME '/SASLIBRARY/SASDATA/folder||&syear';
Thank you,
Bonnary
It shouldn't be a problem, but you will need to switch the double quotes and single quotes. For example:
LIBNAME "/SASLIBRARY/SASDATA/folder%sysfunc(year('&sysdate'd))";
If it doesn't work as is, there should be an easy fix. Give it a shot and see what you get.
