Group by every observation (ID, date) in a proc SQL self join :

proc sql;
select a.id, a.date, 1 + count(b.id) as count
from have as a inner join have as b on a.id=b.id and 
    b.date > a.date and intck("MONTH", a.date, b.date, "C") < 6
group by a.id, a.date;
quit;

I don't understand what you mean.

You mean ID must have 2-6 month data ?

What if a ID have two or more obs in one month ?

data have;
input ID Date : mmddyy10.;
format date mmddyy10.;
cards;
123 1/1/15
456 2/2/15
123 2/20/15
;
run;
proc sql;
create table want as
 select id,count(*) as n
  from have
    group by id having count(distinct month(date)) between 2 and 6;
quit;
