Remember, macro variables can appear anywhere in a SAS program, except within data lines.

     title 'Temporary Employees Hired in November';
      footnote "Report Run on &sysday, &sysdate";
     data hrd.tempnov;
        set hrd.temp;
        if month(begindate)=11;
     run;
     proc print data=hrd.tempnov;
     run;

For example, this program uses the SYSDAY macro variable to execute a section of the program only on a specified day of the week.

     data hrd.temppay(drop=day);
        set hrd.newtemp(keep=name payrate hours1 hours2);
        total=hours1+hours2;
        Day="&sysday";
        if day='Friday' then
           do;
              gross=input(payrate,2.)*total;
              tempfee=gross*.05;
           end;
     run;
     proc print data=hrd.temppay;
     run;

Note that the &SYSDAY reference appears in quotes. The quotes are needed to correctly assign the text string that is contained in the macro variable SYSDAY to the character variable Day.
