I would simplify your query down to something that works then progressively add lines back until it fails. Try starting with something like this:
proc sql;
SELECT count(*) as count
FROM MAP_INPUT AS MI
INNER JOIN rule_trans3 AS RT
ON MI.POST_DATE = RT.POST_DATE
;
Yes, if I use equal sign it works, problem is need to use like operator.
Please explain why you need to use LIKE.
