Hello,

 

There are a few different options:

 

Using Delete

 

data output;
set input;

if date>'10Jan2006'd then delete;

run;

 

Using IF

data output;
set input;

if date<='10Jan2006'd then output; ** (Then output) is optional;

run;

 

Using Where

data output;
set input;
where date<='10Jan2006'd;
run;

Using Where Not

 

data output;
set input;
where not (date<='10Jan2006'd);
run;

 

Using SQL Delete

proc sql;
delete from dataset
where date>'10Jan2006'd
;
quit;
