using dates

[sophia_SAS]

Hi SAS users,

I have a dataset with 3 variables: ID, date1 and date2.  I would like to create a new dataset that identifies which observations have a date2 that is 5 months or greater than date1.  For example using the data below, I would like to identify IDs 7 and 11 as they have a date2 that is at least 5 months greater than date1.

Thanks.

data have;

input id           date1                   date2;

cards;

          5     05/12/2010          06/12/2010

          7     06/22/2010          12/30/2010

          9     02/04/2009          05/03/2009

          11   03/27/2009          11/05/2009

;

run;

format date1 date2 mmddyy10.;

          7     06/22/2010          12/30/2010

          9     02/04/2009          05/03/2009

          11   03/27/2009          11/05/2009
