If Month provided then last day of the month will be the ENDDATE value.
If year only provided then last day of the year will be the ENDDATE value.

 

Please help

Generate a valid SAS date and then use SAS function intnx()

 

enddate = intnx("MONTH", date, 0, "END");

/* or */

enddate = intnx('YEAR", date, 0, "END");

Here's one way for character values.


data want;
   set have;
   /* assumes your "date" is CHARACTER*/
   Enddate = input(date,anydtdte32.);
   /* missing is because year provides insufficient information to anydtdte*/
   /* so assign last day of dec as day and month*/
   if missing(enddate) then enddate = mdy(12,31,input(date,best4.));
   /* anydtdte when day of month is missing assigns day to be 1, this is 
   one way to advance to last day of current month */
   if length(date)=7 then enddate=intnx('month',enddate,1)-1;
   format enddate date9.;
run;
