It is not due to FIRST. or LAST.

Place the data set names in the Output like:

data ttt (drop=value period) duplicate;

Just one more thing - as you mentioned duplicate in  the data step statement, would it create a new dataset which will capture other values excluding the first and the last obs of the group.
