Use the WEEKDAY() function.

data have;
  input id $ date (d1-d7) (:$1.);
  informat date mmddyy.;
  format date yymmdd10. ;
cards;
A1  02/14/19  N  Y  N  Y  Y  N  N
B1  02/14/19  N  Y  N  Y  N  N  N
;

data check;
  set have ;
  array sched d1-d7 ;
  bad = 'Y' ne sched(weekday(date));
run;
Obs    id       date       d1    d2    d3    d4    d5    d6    d7    bad

 1     A1    2019-02-14     N     Y     N     Y     Y     N     N     0

Ok my table looks like this
Id. Date s. m tue. wed thu fri sat
A1. 02/14/19. N. Y. N. Y. Y. N. N
B1. 02/14/19. N. Y. N. Y. N N. N
The date is day of order sun-Sat is the schedule days order should be place. A1 is good since order was done on thur and sch indicates Y on Thur. Im interested only on the ones that had order place but weren't Scheduled like B1

Hi:
I agree with @Patrick, your question is not clear. In addition, you seem to think that B1 is incorrect, but I don't see what is wrong with B1, if you say that A1 is correct.

The reason B1 is incorrect is the order was placed on 02/14/19. And per the schedule thur has a N. Which means the order was place on off day

So for the order date, you need to find that day of the week, ie February 14, 2019 is a Thursday, so Thursday should have a Y. Since it doesn't you flag that record?
