Amy,

Since the first month is almost always 1 just:
%let p_cur_mth= %sysfunc( today(), year4. )01;

%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
