Hi Heman,

You should have provided more example code. We don't know about
&sasperdat. But it is clear that you can't use SAS code inside a value
(range) definition. You can do it via macro code, however:

%LET intnxDay = %SYSFUNC(intnx(DAY, &sasperdat., 1));
proc format;
  value buckets
    &sasperdat. - &intnxDay. = 1;
run;

Regards - Jim.
