Hi Peter
may I offer my %now macro
Use it like
   footnote "processing at %now";
or
   footnote "processing at %now(fmt=datetime18)";
to avoid the fractions of a second

If these formats aren't what you want, either build a user
datetime picture format to suit what you want or modify the macro

%macro now(fmt=datetime21.2) / cmd stmt;
 %sysfunc( datetime(), &fmt )
%mend  now;



Regards, and happy new year

Peter Crawford

Betreff:       Date/time of execution of program
Nachrichtentext:

Hello all

In the standard options the date and time printed on the output are for when you last started SAS. I would like to have the time when the particular SAS program started running.

I know this can be done, because I got (I think from the list) a macro which did it.....but I don't remember how, and 9/11 claimed that macro.

Any help appreciated
