Macro language content is text and only text
and a sasdate is a numùeric value
see following pgm
*%let ddate=17Jan06;
data _null_;
dat="17jan06"d;
call symputx('ddat',put(dat,worddate18.));
run;
title3 "BIG OPENING OF &ddat";
*title3 "BIG OPENING OF %sysfunc(put(&ddat,worddate.))";
proc print data=sashelp.class(obs=1);run;
