The Above can be done in a single data step as
follows.Actually this is suggestable.
data _null_;
set abc;
retain z;
if tdate='18APR2008'D then
z=avg;
if tdate='21APR2008'D then
do;
diff=Z-avg;
put 'the difference=' diff;
stop;
end;

Answer / nagesh sriram
Hi,
I am think that the difference between the first and last
records value?
data _null_;
set abc end=last;
retain first;
if _n_=1 then first=avg;
if last=1 then do;
diff=first - avg;
put 'The difference is =' diff;
stop;
end;
run;
here _n_=1 is hold the first record in the abc dataset.
Last=1 means is hold the last record in the dataset.

Answer / abhilash
Use symgetfunction to resolve a macro variable with in same
data step while creating macro variable using call symput.
DATA test;
SET ABC;
IF TDATE='18APR2008'D THEN
CALL SYMPUT('A2',AVG);
ELSE IF TDATE='21APR2008'D THEN
CALL SYMPUT('B2',AVG);
diff = symget('a2') - symget('b2');
