Please try the proc univariate which will displays the 5 lowest and 5 highest value observation. in that the first lowest and last highest represent the lowest and highest values.

data have;
input HighPrice;
cards;
568.45
571
604.3
619.35
612.7
629
651
650.7
652
678.9
689.9
665
664.4
666.8
627.5
619.4
627.25
650.8
663.95
642
631.9

proc univariate data=have;
var highprice;

Even through proc sql also you could get result

proc sql;
select min(highprice), max(highprice) into:min, :max from have;
quit;

Many procedures available: proc means or summary, Proc Report or Proc Tabulate if want to make pretty output.

proc means data=have max min;

var highprice;

run;
