I run a program every weekday that pulls new data from the past 24 hours. So, I want to go back 1 and 31 days Tues-Thurs and 3 and 33 days on Mon. How do I set this up? This is the current code:

%LET DATEC = (CURRENT DATE - 31 DAYS);
%LET STARTQT = (CURRENT DATE - 1 DAYS);

When I have run the program the past two Mondays, I have manually changed the 31 and 1 to 33 and 3.

Thanks for your help!

Look at using the INTNX function in your code.

In addition to the intnx function, you could also use the weekday function. For example:

%let weekday=%sysfunc(weekday(%sysfunc(today())));

If you create the macro variable weekday as above, it will have a value of 2 every Monday. Conditional logic could then be used to determine which date variables to use.
