Greetings! 
 
I am now doing one type of analysis every month, and wanted to creat 
table names in a more efficient way. 
 
Here is what happens now, everytime I do the analysis, I will create a 
table called something like customer_20050930, and then update the 
table by using several update steps. Then next month I will create a 
table called customer_20051031. Does anyone know if there is a better 
way to do it? like using a macro variable for the month-end date? Now 
everytime I have to change the table name in every single update step, 
which would cause errors if I forget to change one of them. By using a 
macro, I would only need to change it once.  
 
Thanks!
