SAS Time

What is it?

Syntax:

  • Time();

SAS Time Statement:


 SAS Time Example:




Data work.my_data_file;

    Result_1 = Time();

    Result_2 = PUT(Result_1, nltimap15.);
Run;



What's happening in the script above?

  • The Time function simply returns the system time which SAS returns as a DOUBLE.
  • The PUT function is taking the SAS Current System Date and re-formatting it to simplify read ability.


Time Example:

Variable Input Output Description
Result_1 58513.064103 The SAS System Time based on the system Timezone
Result_2 58513.064103 04:15:13 PM The formatted System time using the PUT function and the nltimap15. format
