Post test data in the form of a datastep.  I can't tell from that wether the dates are numeric dates or text for example.

This is just a guess (that they are number) not tested (as no test data in a datastep):

data want (drop=sd);  
  set have (rename=(start_date=sd));
  by id;
  if first.id then start_date=sd;
  if last.id then do;
    end_date=sd;
    output;
  end;
  format start_date end_date yymmdd10.;
run;

Note your results table does not match your test data - no sex, and trt.
