> proc export data=sp500forecasts
> outfile='F:\Groups\Quantitative
> Analysis\sp500forecasts_date.txt' replace;
>
> How can I write this statement so that I can insert the sas
> macro &sysdate (or something similar) into the filename so
> that the output file name will have the current date in its
> name. The problem is that SAS does not interpret macros
