Can something like the following be done in SAS?
if days(date1 - date2) = 200 then do....end
(i.e. if # days difference is 200 then perform a task.
Similarly for months or years.
Try intck to calculate number of days/months between two dates.
if intck('day',date1,date2) = 200 then do /* for days */
if intck('month',date1,date2) = 200 then do /* for months */
Assuming Date1 and Date2 are SAS dates would the following not work?
If (Date1 - date2) eq 200 then Do ;
end ;
For the months and years the Intck function woudl work as shown by stat@sas. Of course, we have not yet talked about 'alignment' on months and years!
I would replace the if statement by if ABS(date1 - date2) eq 200 then Do; because we do not know what date is more recent.
