data=work.systems;                                                                                                                      
set=work.carsales;                                                                                                                      
if prxmatch("m/Acura|Dodge|Ford/oi",Manufacturer) > 0 then found=1;                                                                     
else found=0;

Currently Im using SAS 9.0 so just want to ask "is this due the old SAS version that Im using"?

No. your code has errors. As noted your DATA and SET statements are incorrect, remove the = sign. 

 

I dont know if the PRX is correct but you can reply after fixing those basic errors. 

 

SAS 9.0 would be 15 years old so I seriously hope that's not the case.  And if so, why?

Just another point, you are doing a binary yes/no if statement, so save yourself a bit of typing and use ifc/ifn functions:

data work.systems;                                                                                                                      
  set work.carsales;                                                                                                                      
  found=ifn(prxmatch("m/Acura|Dodge|Ford/oi",Manufacturer),1,0);                                                                                                                           
run;
