Use the date function to test for specific dates. For example,

If datevar ge date.mdy(1,1,2009) and datevar lt date.mdy(4,1,2009)
quarternumber=1.

Barbara,

I am pretty sure there is not a specific function. But, and remembering that
dates are stored as the number of seconds since a specific date, an If
statement would do what you want.

>>Can someone please tell me the name of the function to see if a date
falls between the range of two other dates?
