I am trying to look at the observations that are being deleted from this lag statement above. Is there anyway I can print or capture the deleted observations?

Better sort the data and use first./last. to separate between the duplicates and the last one,

for examle:

 

proc sort data=have;
    by parcel_d sale_mo /* month ? */ sale_prc;
run;

data ones dups;
  set have;
   by parcel_d sale_mo sale_prc;
      if last.sale_prc then output ones;
      else output dups;
run;
