Hi
I have a requirement to check : first date of the current month & last month's first date +1
So today's date is : 2/12/2018
I want the first range as : 02/01/2018 ( 2nd jan 2018)
second range : 01/02/2018 (1st of feb 2018)
I have tried :
%LET PRE_MO = %SYSFUNC(INTNX(MONTH, %SYSFUNC(&CURR), -1),DATE9.) ;
I am getting PRE_MO AS : 01JAN2018 , but I want it be increased by 1
I am trying : R = INTNX(('MONTH',AEENDTC1,0,"BEGINNING")),DATE9. ; ( to get the first day of this month)
But error shows :
R = INTNX(('MONTH',AEENDTC1,0,"BEGINNING")),DATE9. ;

LIke this?
data test;
today="12feb2018"d;
first=intnx("month", today, -1, "b")+1;
second=intnx("month", today, 0, "b");
format today first second date9.;
run;
%LET PRE_MO = %eval(%SYSFUNC(INTNX(MONTH, &CURR, -1,b))+1) ;
%put %sysfunc(putn(&pre_mo,date9.));
Work with dates (and date-time values) as numbers rather than formatted values whenever possible.
Use the formatted values only when absolutely necessary, for example when displaying results for human eyes.
