Please take a minute to format your code. The followin gis the correct comparison, assuming your date variable is a character and formatted as yymmdd.
input(Date_Stop,yymmdd8.) < today()
Your code appears like your stop_date is a character field. If so, then the following should work:
data have; input date_stop $; if input(Date_Stop,yymmdd8.) < today() then do; errordes5='Invalid Date_Stop'; end ; cards; 20151012 20170322 20170323 ;
