Macro variables created by call symput cannot be accessed as macro variables until the DATA step is completed, so please do the following.   Data _null_; Call symputx('firstm_start_date1', put(intnx('qtr', today(), -1, 'B'), date11.)) ; run; Data _null_; Call symputx('thirdm_start_date1', put(intnx('month', "&firstm_start_date1."d, 2,'B'), date11.)) ; run; Also, the "D" indicating the date must appear immediately after the quotation marks, so remove the space ...
