Hi, how do I create a flag, WANT, that checks if 1AM falls between two timestamps?
data task1;
input ID :$2. BEG_DT_TIME :datetime18. END_DT_TIME :datetime18. WANT;
format BEG_DT_TIME END_DT_TIME datetime20.;
cards;
AA 28SEP2023:22:00:00.00 29SEP2023:02:00:00.00 1
BB 28SEP2023:07:30:00.00 28SEP2023:13:30:00.00 0
CC 28SEP2023:20:00:00.00 29SEP2023:00:00:00.00 0
DD 29SEP2023:00:00:00.00 29SEP2023:03:00:00.00 1
EE 29SEP2023:05:00:00.00 30SEP2023:03:00:00.00 1
;
run;
Use INTCK with a properly shaped interval:
data want;
set task1;
calc_want = intck('hour24.2',beg_dt_time,end_dt_time) > 0;
run;
Create an new timestamp using the datepart of end_dt_time to compare it with the start and end:
Want = (beg_dt_time <= dhms(datepart(end_dt_time), 1, 0, 0) <= end_dt_time);
Use INTCK with a properly shaped interval:
data want;
set task1;
calc_want = intck('hour24.2',beg_dt_time,end_dt_time) > 0;
run;
Thanks, @Kurt_Bremser . Curious what the .2 in hour24.2 does?
