I want to asign an index number for each date. But some dates are missing in the index table, in this case I will asign index number of the nearest next date. I attached a file which has two tables.

I know proc sql can add index number, but my problem is that some dates are not in  one table.

Thanks a lot.

One way is to create and apply a format.  e.g.:

data Table1;

  informat IndexDate anydtdte.;

  format IndexDate date9.;

  input IndexDate datenumber;

  cards;
