!!Post test data in the form of a datastep!!

Its not hard, and it saves lots of questions!!!

 

 

As such I am guessing dates are dates:

data have;	
  customer_id=50095; sub_table_date="22Dec2015"d;
run;
data want;
  set have;
  sat_date=sub_table_date;
  do while (weekday(sat_date) ne 7);
    sat_date=sat_date-1;
  end;
  format sub_table_date sat_date date9.;
run;
