The macro $_DATE displays current as 20 Jun 2008. I am looking for a
simply way to remove the spaces.
That is, 20Jun2008.
=====================================================================
I did not succeed with $_DATE, but with c(current_date) it is:
. local z = subinstr(c(current_date) , " " , "" , .)
. display "`z'"
20Jun2008
Hope this helps
