Subject: month="08" instead of month=08
Dear SASers,
I was playing and puzzeled with this question:
137 data _null_;
138 mth=quote(compress('0'||month(today())));
139 call symput('mth', mth);
140 run;
NOTE: Numeric values have been converted to character values at the places
given
by:
(Line):(Column).
138:25
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.02 seconds.
141
142
143 DATA _NULL_;
144 put "month=" &mth;
145 run;
month=08
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.02 seconds.
How would I make it: month="08"? or should I say what's the other
alternative
ways to make it?
Appreciate any help!
