Where Olympicscs1.Probability=Olympicscs2.Prob_Digi and
Olympicscs1.Account_Name=Olympicscs2.Account_Name and Olympicscs1.Probability NE 0
ORDER BY Olympicscs1.Probability;

what should be the code ?

[error_prone]

Maybe the comma after "Olympicscs1.Last_Modified_Date as Modified" is the culprit.

Hi Prateek1

You should drop , after  Olympicscs1.Last_Modified_Date as Modified in this way format MMDDYY8. runs for this variable, on other hand  you should write a variable for the format.

proc sql;
create table NZ AS
Select Olympicscs1.Probability,Olympicscs1.Account_Name as Client,Olympicscs1.Champ,Olympicscs1.Last_Modified_Date as Modified format MMDDYY8.,Olympicscs1.Deal_Comments,Olympicscs1.Tot_Budget format dollar20., Olympicscs2.Digi_Budget format dollar20.
FROM Olympicscs1,Olympicscs2
Where Olympicscs1.Probability=Olympicscs2.Prob_Digi and
Olympicscs1.Account_Name=Olympicscs2.Account_Name and Olympicscs1.Probability NE 0
ORDER BY Olympicscs1.Probability;
quit;

Simple code formatting lets the error stand out like a beacon:

proc sql;
create table NZ as select
  Olympicscs1.Probability,
  Olympicscs1.Account_Name as Client,
  Olympicscs1.Champ,
  Olympicscs1.Last_Modified_Date as Modified,
  format MMDDYY8.,
  Olympicscs1.Deal_Comments,
  Olympicscs1.Tot_Budget format dollar20.,
  Olympicscs2.Digi_Budget format dollar20.
from
  Olympicscs1,
  Olympicscs2
where
  Olympicscs1.Probability=Olympicscs2.Prob_Digi and
  Olympicscs1.Account_Name=Olympicscs2.Account_Name and
  Olympicscs1.Probability NE 0
order by Olympicscs1.Probability
;
quit;

Writing spaghetti code is the main culprit here.
