Thomas,

Where does the parameter DATE come from?  If it is a SAS date then convert
it with

%if &date<= %then %sysfunc(inputn(06feb1994,date9.)) %do;

If DATE is really of the form ddmmmyyyy then use the same trick on the left
hand side of the comparison.

I have a macro. ther's no message error but this macro doesn't work. I
don't know why.
%macro taux(date);
%if &date<='06feb1994'd %then %do;
%let gam=%sysevalf(0.06/12); %let gamprim=%sysevalf(0.0462/12);
%end; /*taux à 6%*/
%else %if '07feb1994'd<=&date<='22jan1997'd %then %do;
%let gam=%sysevalf(0.0525/12);  %let gamprim=%sysevalf(0.0384/12);
%end;/*taux à 5.25%*/
%else %if '23jan1997'd<=&date<='08jun1998'd %then %do;
%let gam=%sysevalf(0.0425/12) ; %let gamprim=%sysevalf(0.031/12);
%end;/*taux à 4.25%*/
%else %if '09jun1998'd<=&date<='25jul1999'd %then %do;
%let gam=%sysevalf(0.04/12); %let gamprim=%sysevalf(0.029/12);
%end;/*taux à 4%*/
%else %if '26jul1999'd<=&date<='30jun2000'd %then %do;
%let gam=%sysevalf(0.036/12); %let gamprim=%sysevalf(0.0261/12);
%end;/*taux à 3.60%*/
%else /*%if '01jul2000'd<=&date %then */%do;
%let gam=%sysevalf(0.045/12) ; %let gamprim=%sysevalf(0.0327/12);
%end;/*taux à 4.50%*/
