I am struggling to find a way to look up 2 values in a table.  In access i would have used a dlookup function.

I want to set macro 2 macro variables to give me the min and max date of a field.  Is there something comparible to dlookup in SAS?

%let date_min = ? (min date of Record set date field)

%let date_max = ? (Max date of Record set date field)

That bit of code is very helpful.  I could only think of methods using multiple procedures, like PROC MEANS and the PROC SQL.  Very useful.  Thanks.
