How to get current month name and year in SAS using macro

问题

I am triggering a mail in SAS which should holds current month and year in the mail

How can I create macro variables &month &yearsuch that

• &month should display October
• &year should display 2020

Currently using

%let sysmonth= %sysfunc(month("&sysdate"d));
%let sysyear= %sysfunc(year("&sysdate"d));

%put &sysmonth &sysyear;

But I am getting month in number but i want the month in words

回答1:

Use PUTN with format MONNAME

%put %sysfunc(PUTN("&sysdate"d, monname.));
------ LOG ------
October

回答2:

%SYSFUNC has an optional second argument that specifies format. In the particular case here you don't really need it - Richard's PUTN works just as well - but in the case that you do want a function to operate, here's that example - the example here being for if you want a different month than the current one, but any function works this way.

%let sysmonth= %sysfunc(intnx(month,"&sysdate"d,-1),monname.);
%put &=sysmonth;
