James,

Use Datetime.label = putn(date(), worddate.)||' '||putn(time(), time.);

In SCL Macros and Macro functions are compiled at the same time as the frame.

I would like to display current time in a text label control on an SAS/AF frame.

I have a frame with a text label control named DateTime.

The frame has the following scl:

init:

datetime.label="%sysfunc(putn(%sysfunc(date()),worddate.)) %sysfunc(putn(%sysfunc(time()),time.))" ;

return;

Test AF or executing the frame displays:

August 17, 2007 9:29:19

This is the time I compiled the frame. I would like the date and time to show the current time and date when the application is used.
