I'm trying to create a flag variable and it isn't working. 

The piece I'm having issues with is the Perf='Y' flag (performance flag)

 

%let start='01Oct2016'd;
data NewGroups; set groups; thrudate=today()-45; if (thrudate gt beg_dt) and (beg_dt >='01Oct2016'd) then Perf='Y'; else Perf='N'; /*if &today. >=&start. then Perf='Y'; else perf='N';*/ /*format thrudate date9.;*/ startdate=&Start.; /*format startdate date9.;*/ PerfMonths=intck('month',startdate,thrudate); beg_dt=input(begin_date,anydtdte19.); /*format beg_dt date9.;*/ where beg_month >='01Oct2016'd; run; proc contents data=newgroups; run; proc print data=newgroups(obs=20); run;

It looks as if you are using beg_dt before you are giving it a value.
