%let containing today's date

[GreggB]

Code:

%let test=3701_Prelim_Score_Roster - %sysfunc(today(),ddmmyyn6.);

I want this to resolve to 3701_Prelim_Score_Roster - 12DEC17  instead of 3701_Prelim_Score_Roster - 151217.

Simple, all you'd need to do is just change the format in the %sysfunc:

%sysfunc(today(),date7.);
