I need to display the current date in the header in the format yyyymmdd.
Ex: 20080418
There should be no separators between year,month & day.
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=OUT,
HEADER1=(1:'0001',32:&DATE(4MD' '))
|
This displays only 2008 04 18.
I tried using
| Code: |
HEADER1=(1:'0001',32:&DATE(4MD''))
|
But it gives some syntax error.
Please do let me know how to get this output. |

Mariraj,
Try DATENS instead of DATE

This is invalid syntax - the correct syntax would be as follows (you could use the & but you don't need it):
You shouldn't have apostrophes around the blank separator.
If you don't want the separator, use DATENS instead of DATE:
