I would like to use TODAY() to derive the current date and use it as a timestamp in naming a JMP dataset, and as a TIME_STAMP column as well. In SAS, it may look like this (I admit I neglected the formatting a bit).
%let TODAYDATE=today();
data WORK.CLASS_&TODAYDATE. ;
set SASHELP.CLASS;
TIME_STAMP = &TODAYDATE. ;
run ;
After resolving, the result should look like this :
"WORK.CLASS_20190628"
and
"TIME_STAMP
20190628
20190628
20190628
20190628
..."
May JSL macro variables do the same job?
Any input greatly appreciated.
Have a nice weekend!
Newbie
