My dataset looks like this:

Subject START STARTL END ENDL
1001 10Jan2010 10Jan10 12Jan2010 12Jan10
1001 15Jan2010 15Jan10 17Jan2010 17Jan10
1001 17Jan2010 17Jan10 18Jan2010 18Jan10
1001 19Jan2010 19Jan10 20Jan2010 20Jan10

I want to get min(start) and corresponding startL, max(start) and corresponding startL per subject. How can I do this using proc sql.
