The result is correct because the format monname3. only works with sas date value and not with the month value. try this to see the difference: data _null_; call symputx('_month',put(date(),monname3.)); put "&_month." ; call symputx('_month2',month(date())); put "&_month2." ; call symputx('_month3',put(month(date()),monname3.)); put "&_month3." ; run; Regards, Carlos S
