I need to pass the iner-loop the three pieces of data to control the loop that is all I am trying to do.  I think this is not a loop 'control' problem anymore this is a date formatting issue.   “I hate the way SAS uses dates.”  It’s easily the hardest language I have ever used ever with respect to using dates.    I am sorry for wasting your time.

“I hate the way SAS uses dates.”  It’s easily the hardest language I have ever used ever with respect to using dates. 

 

Why? I find it really simple to work with dates in SAS. Once you've got a SAS Date value (number of days since 1/1/1960) you're simply dealing with a number and can do whatever calculations you wish. And on top of it there are all the calendar functions like intnx() if you need to shift a date to end of month, quarter or the like.

 

I need to pass the iner-loop the three pieces of data to control the loop that is all I am trying to do. 

I still don't understand what you want to loop over. If you would describe the desired output based on your sample data then I'm sure someone can provide you with a solution.
