Create a new data set as below:
data demo;
input year month cpi;
datalines;
1990 6 129.9
1990 7 130.4
1990 8 131.6
1990 9 132.7
1991 4 135.2
1991 5 135.6
1991 6 136.0
1991 7 136.2
;
run;
Sort the data if needed.
Create a new id field:
data demo2;
set demo;
id = _n_;
run;
Display the first and last record for every date and finally remove the id column.
proc sql;
create table final as select * from demo2 where id in (select min(id) from demo2 group by year) or id in (select max(id) from demo2 group by year);
alter table final drop column id;
quit;
