Answer / amit gupta

Apologies,
above code has an extra "FROM d1"

The working code is as below:

proc sql;
select
case when date lt '31DEC2006'd then date end as mydate
format=date7. ,
case when date gt '31DEC2008'd then date end as mydate
format=date9. ,
case when '01JAN2007'd <= date <= '31DEC2008'd then 'DUMMY'
end as mydate
from d1 ;
quit;

However it does give the data in 3 columns , which I was
unable to merge as the data type was different.

Any working solution using format ?

Answer / amit gupta

proc sql;
select
case when date lt '31DEC2006'd then date end as mydate
format=date7. from d1
case when date gt '31DEC2008'd then date end as mydate
format=date9. ,
case when '01JAN2007'd <= date <= '31DEC2008'd then 'DUMMY'
end as mydate
from d1 ;
quit;


Just that these are in three different columns;

Tried the above resolutions but unsuccessfully.
