Hi All,
I need to crete a datset each month as per the following naming convention.
AB002_2017APR
for this wat is have used is AB002_&sysyear&sysmon
which resulets as AB002_201704, but what i need is AB002_2017APR.
Is there any format i couls use to get the desired result.
Please try to use the %substr function to pull the mon in letters
%let sysmon= %substr(&sysdate,3,3);
%let sysyear= %sysfunc(year("&sysdate"d));
%put &sysmon &sysyear;
Please try to use the %substr function to pull the mon in letters
%let sysmon= %substr(&sysdate,3,3);
%let sysyear= %sysfunc(year("&sysdate"d));
%put &sysmon &sysyear;
Or in one shot
%let rdate= %sysfunc(today(), yymon7.);
%put &rdate;
2017Apr
