Hi, I wanted to get my result in html form. I use the macro variable so that I can get the result by entering the date I want.

However, the html output link could not find the pathway or even the html name I want it to be set. Whats wrong with my code?

Here is my code:

 

%macro date(YYYY=2018, MM=12,Y=2018,M=12);%global YR MTH ACCYRFY;

 

(BODY.....)

 

ods html

file='C:\Data\POLA\&Y\&Y&M\result\Happy_&Y&M..html'

style=normal;

proc print;

run;

 

 

%mend date;

%date(YYYY=2018,MM=12,Y=2018,M=12);
