/*oracle connection detail goes here*/

data test;

set oracle.table;

You are using a SAS DATA step to read from Oracle so you must use SAS date conventions.

Try: where date between "09feb2014"d and "11feb2014"d and card_nbr in (0875 1234 5678);

Also check the column attributes of date - is it a date or a datetime?

If it is a datetime try: where date between "09feb2014:00:00:00"dt and "11feb2014:00:00:00"dt and card_nbr in (0875 1234 5678);

There are couple of things need to be done (highlighted) to fix this.

data _null_;
tempdate_1=intnx('day',today(),-172);
tempdate_2=intnx('day',today(),-170);
call symput('date1',put(tempdate_1,date7.));
call symput('date2',put(tempdate_2,date7.));
run;

data test;
set oracle.table;

if date>="&date1"d and date<="&date2"d and card_nbr in (0875 1234 5678);
run;
