Let's assume that there are V1 and V2 columns (with NULL values, just for this case) in table Have2 so that we have 'DateTimeStamp', 'V1' and 'V1' columns.

 

 

What I want to do is to:

 

1. Create a subset from table Have2 in such a way that...

    a. Immediate previous and next dates (i.e only one date before and one date after) where Date in Have1 is equal to Date in Have2, and Have1.ET = "Lath"

 2. even If there is NO Have1.Date=Have2.Date, still for each Have1.Date, find immediate previous and next dates (one date before and one date after) from Have2, where Have1.ET = "Lath".

 

Please note the above dataset are just samples from larger ones.

Since your second datastep would not produce usable data, I've taken the liberty to change it.

Well, the code below will find the nearest dates around the datetime given.  I wouldn't call variables "date" by the way, you have fallen into describing data, but not acurately,  Have2 has a datetime not a date.  Also it doesn't show well in the editor.  Not sure if this code would be viable on large data, but try it:

data have1;
  infile cards truncover expandtabs;
  input ET $ Date :Date9.;
  format Date date9.;
cards;

  from    HAVE2 HAVE2;
quit;

I split out the Lath part, as no need to drag in more data than necessary.

It seems that have2 is sorted by datetime.

Add to have2 dataset a variable = sequential number of the observatioN

data temp1;
 set have 2;
      seq = _N_;
run;

Add to have1 the minimum of have2.seq which is GE have1.date and a flag assigning is it equal (=0) or is it greater (=1);

You asked to subset it for ET = 'Lath' only:

proc sql;
       create table temp2
       as select a.et, a.date,
           min(b.seq) as seq
           case when b.date = a.date) then 0 else
           case when b.date > a.date  then 1 as flag
       from hav1(where=(et='Lath')  as a 
       left join temp1 as b
       on b.date ge a.date
order by seq ; quit;

Now that you have in temp2 the sequence number of the related observation in have2 

select the previous and if needed the next seq obs:

 

data temp3;
set temp2;
if seq = 1 then seq1 = .;
else seq1 = seq -1;
if flag=0 then seq2 = seq +1;
else seq2 = seq;
run;

proc sql
create table want
as select a.*,
case b.seq = a.seq1 then b.date as v1
case b.seq = a.seq2 then b.date as v2
from temp1 as a
left join temp2 as b
on b.et = a.et
;
quit;

I haven't tested the code therefore I left all seq: variables in want dataset for control.

Finally of ok DROP unwanted variables.

Hello, Thanks very much for the explanation and suggestions. There were couple of typo mistakes which i corrected them and run the code:

 

proc sql;
       create table temp2
       as select a.et, a.date,
           min(b.seq) as seq,
           case when b.date = a.date then 0 else
           case when b.date > a.date  then 1 as flag
       from have1(where=(et='Lath'))  as a 
       left join temp1 as b
       on b.date ge a.date       order by seq
; quit;
 
 

 

I got the following errors:

 

267                   case when b.date > a.date  then 1 as flag
                                                        __

The SQL case needs to be closed with an end:

proc sql;
create table temp2 as
select
  a.et, a.date,
  min(b.seq) as seq,
  case
    when b.date = a.date then 0
    when b.date > a.date then 1
  end as flag
from have1(where=(et='Lath'))  as a 
left join temp1 as b
on b.date ge a.date
order by seq
;
quit;
