Print current date and time in chart title

* Objective: Print the current date and time in a chart title.
* Note: same technique can be use to print date & time as part of the title of a Table.

* Define dummy data (was given as part of the question)
SET SEED=87654321.
INPUT PROGRAM.
LOOP #I = 1 TO 200.
COMPUTE month= TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*3)+1.
COMPUTE year= TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*3)+1.
COMPUTE odse_key= TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*4)+1.
COMPUTE sls_amt= TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*50)+1.
COMPUTE profit= TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*30)+1.
COMPUTE seg_key=TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*4)+1.
COMPUTE dep_key=TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*4)+1.
COMPUTE quart=TRUNC(UNIFORM(1)*16)+1.
END CASE.
END LOOP.
END FILE.
END INPUT PROGRAM.
EXECUTE. 
if sls_amt=0 sls_amt=0.01. 
COMPUTE pmargin =(profit/sls_amt)*100 .
EXECUTE . 
format pmargin (comma).

* Define a macro which will yield the current date and time.

STRING cdate(A17).
COMPUTE cdate=STRING($TIME,DATETIME17).
DO IF $casenum=1.
WRITE OUTFILE 'temp.sps' /"DEFINE !date()"/cdate/"!ENDDEFINE.".
END IF.
EXECUTE.
* Run the macro.
INCLUDE 'temp.sps'.
