Hello
I am trying to create a parameter of a date value and use it to take all rows with date higher than 01Apr2017.
Can anyone please explain why it is not working and what is the correct code?
Thanks a lot
data aaa;
length LOC_ID $8 Date Demand 8;
LOC_ID = "C1";
demand = 0;
do Date = '01JAN2017'd to '30JUN2017'd;
output;
end;
run;
Also, your second data step is redundant. Simple use the FORMAT Statement in your first data step.
sorry.Here is the code.Why is it no working?
data aaa;
length LOC_ID $8 Date Demand 8;
LOC_ID = "C1";
demand = 0;
do Date = '01JAN2017'd to '30JUN2017'd;
output;
end;
run;
data bbb;
set aaa;
format Date date9.;
run;
%let monParam='01Apr2017'd;
Data Want;
SET bbb;
IF Date>&monParam.;
Run;
I get no errors from running the code.
Please post your log and what yoy consider "not working".
Sorry.You are right. I run it again and it is working.Thank you anyway

Please define "not working". After tidying up your code and dropping the unnecessary datastep the code works perfectly:
data aaa; length loc_id $8 date demand 8; loc_id="C1"; demand=0; do date='01JAN2017'd to '30JUN2017'd; output; end; format date date9.; run; %let monparam='01Apr2017'd; data want; set aaa; if date > &monParam.; run;
