Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm not understanding how the intnx() function works with %sysfunc. Method 1, using %sysfunc, spits out the error "WARNING: An argument to the function INTNX referenced by the %SYSFUNC or %QSYSFUNC macro function is out of range. NOTE: Mathematical operations could not be performed during %SYSFUNC function execution. The result of the operations have been set to a missing value." Methods 2 and 3 output correctly within a data _null_ step. If anyone could help enlighten me on why %sysfunc fails here, I would be really grateful. Thanks, Vincent BEGIN PROGRAM %let x=today(); /* method 1 */ %let y1=%sysfunc(intnx('qtr.2',&x,-9,'b')); %put x=&x y1=&y1; /* method 2 */ data _null_; y2=intnx('qtr.2',&x,-9,'b'); put "y2=" y2; run; /* method 3*/ data _null_; call symput('y3', intnx('qtr.2',&x,-9,'b')); run; %put y3=&y3;
