Hi all,

May I know how do I flag my data entries when they are between 2 dates(disregard the time portion) using Sql? The datatype of the condition_start_date column is timestamp with format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Below is what I have tried. 

Your help is very much appreciated.

CREATE TABLE incl_crit1 AS
    SELECT *, CASE 
				WHEN condition_start_date BETWEEN "2010-07-01 00:00:00" and "2018-06-30 00:00:00" 
               		THEN 1 
               		ELSE 0 
       			END as incl_crit
    FROM cond_codes1)

SAS has only two data types, character and numeric. Which of those is condition_start_date?

 

Your condition would only work with character data.

Assuming that condition_start_date is in sas datetime format . You can use the Date constants in the between clause way :

 

Proc SQl;
CREATE TABLE incl_crit1 AS
    SELECT *, CASE 
				WHEN condition_start_date BETWEEN '01jul2019 00:00:00'dt and '30jun2018 00:00:00'dt
               		THEN 1 
               		ELSE 0 
       			END as incl_crit
    FROM cond_codes1;
Quit;

If condition_start_date is a SAS datetime (the format wouldn't matter), you could use:

 

CREATE TABLE incl_crit1 AS
SELECT 
    *, 
    condition_start_date BETWEEN "01JUL2010:00:00:00"dt and "30JUN2018:23:59:59"dt as incl_crit
FROM cond_codes1;

 

If condition_start_date is character then you could get away with:

 

CREATE TABLE incl_crit1 AS
SELECT 
    *, 
    substr(condition_start_date,1,10) BETWEEN "2010-07-01" and "2018-06-30"  as incl_crit
FROM cond_codes1;
