Hi Community,

 

I am new to SAS Macro.  I am debugging a code at the moment  and having trouble trying to determine where the dates are coming from.

 

How do I find out where the dates are coming from? Appreciate your help

 

Below is the macro that is pulling the dates:

 

%DetermineLoadDate(DefaultLoadPeriod=YESTERDAY);

 

Below are the results from the log when running the above macro:

Look in the code for the date() or today() function.
