Hello, I am learning about automatic macro variables such as SYSDATE SYSTIME etc. 

When I use this macros in SAS studio, it generate what I believe is American local time where SAS studio server is hosted.

Is there a way to change the automatic macro variables to my computer's local time?

Using the TIMEZONE system option should provide what you want.

 

AFAIK, it won't change the SYSDATE and SYSTIME macro variables, but it will change the DATE and TIME SAS functions to match your local time.
