Hi guys, just wanna know what's wrong with my code.
I expect the outcome is written into log like following:
text = 31/07/2023
text = 31/08/2023
text = 30/09/2023
text = 31/10/2023
text = 30/11/2023
text = 31/12/2023
text = 31/01/2024
text = 29/02/2024
/* My code */
data _null_;
do 1 = 0 to 7;
put "text = " put(intnx("month","01Jul2023"d,i,"end"),ddmmyy10.);
end;
run;
Hi @ChrisWoo,
Basically, the PUT statement works only with variables and string constants. Results of a function must be stored in a variable first.
data _null_; do i = 0 to 7; text=put(intnx("month","01Jul2023"d,i,"end"),ddmmyy10.); put "text = " text; end; run;
With named output the PUT statement can be simplified to
put text=;
This doesn't put blanks around the equals signs, though.
Another option is formatted output:
data _null_; do i = 0 to 7; d=intnx("month","01Jul2023"d,i,"end"); put "text = " d ddmmyy10.; end; run;
