Discharge Date -> mmddyy8.

But it looks like: 06/09/92 -> This is 10 characters not 8.

You also have two input statements so SAS thinks it's reading two lines each iteration which doesn't match your data.

input ID $ 3. m 2. d 2. y 2. disch mmddyy8. dob mmddyy8. last $ 27-38;
input age month last;

Why do you have a separate input statement for age, month and last in your second data step, when you actually calculate them from other values?

(this statement

lastname=upcase(last);

should be

last=upcase(lastname);

IMO)
