Subject:      Re: Subsetting using date

It seems the poster of this note is not fully familar with how the SAS
system works with date and time variables.  Among other sources, I did
give a beginning tutorial on this subject at SUGI 21, and a paper I wrote
is included in that confernece's Proceedings.
 
The appropriate way to create the desired subsetting IF statement is:
 
IF DATE => '01SEP96'D;  note the single quotes, please
