Try mmddyy8. instead... It should work :-)

Hi I facing problem with this code:

data _null_;
        call symput('ASOF',put(date(),mmddyyyy8.));
run;

 data _null_;
NOTE: SCL source line.
2009          call symput('ASOF',put(date(),MMDDYYYY8.));
                                            ----------
                                            48
ERROR 48-59: The format MMDDYYYY was not found or could not be loaded.

2010  run;
