Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure this out for the second day now, and decided to find out if anyone here knows a way. The task I need to accomplish is the following: I have a variable k='01JAN2008'd; In order to call several datasets which have the name in the following form: work....._01JAN2008, work....._07JAN2008, and so on, I was trying to convert k, k+7*d, to character in a single line of code. I was trying to do the following: %macro a; %do i=1 %to 3; %let dt=%put(%sysevalf(&k+7*&i), date9.); %end; %mend; %aa; , but have not been successfull. I would really appreciate if somebody could point out what am I doing wrong. Thanks, Dmitry ... View more
