I usually include the following to do a date at the bottom (along with the data source and pgm name):
 
 
%let pgm1=ez_chk23;
data _null_;
   call symput("fdate",trim(left(put("&sysdate"d,worddate.))));
run;

footnote2 "Prepared by: Viergever & Associates, Sacramento, CA";
footnote3 "[&pgm1..sas, &systime &sysday, &fdate]";
