Try:

405  %let
pre_mth_1st=%sysfunc(mdy(1,1,%sysfunc(year("&sysdate"d))),yymmn6.);

SYMBOLGEN:  Macro variable SYSDATE resolves to 09MAY02
406  %put &pre_mth_1st;
SYMBOLGEN:  Macro variable PRE_MTH_1ST resolves to 200201
200201

%let p_cur_mth= %sysfunc( today(), yymmn6. );
This works well,

maybe a silly question, but how can I get the first month of current
year,i.e.200201:
%let p_cur_mth=????????????;


TIA,
Amy

Hi,all
Basically, I want to use a variable to get the current month in the
format(p_cur_mth=200205);

I did the following:
%let
p_cur_mth=input(put(year(today()),$4.)||put(month(today()),$2.)),6.);
It does not work well.

Thanks for any input,
Amy
