Sorry, I forgot to add apostrophes.  This time I tested it.

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


How embarrassing!

That produces the following compile error:

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.

Subject: Show current time on an SAS/AF 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.
