@BrahmanandaRao

Your syntax concatenating variables to populate variable Display is syntactically wrong. That's what the SAS Log will tell you.

To get to the desired output as posted you don't need to concatenate the variables. Just use a Put statement as done below.

data ds;
  file print;
  std='10-jan-10'd;
  end='25-sep-19'd;
  format std  end date9.;
  years=intck('year',std,end);
  months=intck('month',std,end);
  days=intck('day',std,end);
/*  display=":" || years ||  months || days || ":";*/
  put years= months= days=;
  stop;
run;
