Bhavani,

What attribute do you want Lease_Begin_Date to have when finished?

DATA TEST;
  SET abcrowhist (IN=A)
      bbcrowhist (IN=B RENAME=(Lease_Begin_Date=Lease_Begin_Date_X))
      jpcROWHIST (IN=C)
      fbROWHIST  (IN=D);

  IF B THEN NEW_Lease_Begin_Date = INPUT(Lease_Begin_Date, MMDDYY10.);
    ELSE NEW_Lease_Begin_Date = Lease_Begin_Date;

RUN;
