I may be wrong, but I think you need to move the period inside the quotes

"&fda."d."&tda."d.

Hi,

I have to macro variable named FDA and TDA.

FDA has a value of 01OCT2002
TDA has a value of 01OCT2003

I would to use them is this statement:
Proc gplot
   plot cpu_sachar_cics*date cpu_sachar_mpm*date / overlay haxis="&fda"d.."&tda"d by month legend vaxis=axis1;

When I run the program I get:
224  proc gplot;
225     plot cpu_meches_cics*date cpu_meches_mpm*date / overlay
haxis="&fda"d.."&tda"d by month
225! legend vaxis=axis1;
SYMBOLGEN:  Macro variable FDA resolves to 01OCT2002
SYMBOLGEN:  Macro variable TDA resolves to 01OCT2003
NOTE 141-205: SCL source line.
225     plot cpu_meches_cics*date cpu_meches_mpm*date / overlay
haxis="&fda"d.."&tda"d by month
