Date Error

Hello All

I am trying to extract the following fields. The issue is with the variable period_end_date which has a DATE9. format. I am getting the error shown below and not able to compute why I am getting the error? I even tried enclosing the date in single quotes but that is not helping too.

Code
data novantas.tempHH (keep =
hshld_idfr
asgnd_branch_idfr
hd_hshld_cmptd_age
income_rng_type
dpst_acct_cnt
dpst_acct_amt
macro_seg_code
micro_seg_code
period_end_date
);
set whs00.hshld_mnth;
where period_end_date = 29FEB2008;
run;

Error

53 data novantas.tempHH (keep =
54 hshld_idfr
55 asgnd_branch_idfr
56 hd_hshld_cmptd_age
57 income_rng_type
58 dpst_acct_cnt
59 dpst_acct_amt
60 macro_seg_code
61 micro_seg_code
62 period_end_date
63 );
64 set whs00.hshld_mnth;
65 where period_end_date = 29FEB2008;
