I think you missed an END

 

Data Sales_Only ; 
	Set Sales ; 
	Select ; 
	When (Missing(Date)) New = 1 ; 
	When (Not Missing(Date)) New = 2 ; 
	When (Missing(Amount)) New = 3 ;
	When (Not Missing(Amount)) New = 4 ; 
	Otherwise ; 
end; run ;

Maxim 1: Read the documentation.

http://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.3&docsetId=lestmtsref&docsetTarget=p0...

SAS 9.4 and Viya 3.3 Programming Documentation - Data Step Programming - Data Step Statements - Dictionary of D. S. Statements

 

The presence of the necessary end; statement is prominent in the syntax section.

 

There is a very strong reason why Maxim 1 is actually the first.

And you should start writing code in a visually ordered style:

Data Sales_Only ; 
  Set Sales ; 
  Select ; 
    When (Missing(Date)) New = 1 ; 
    When (Not Missing(Date)) New = 2 ; 
    When (Missing(Amount)) New = 3 ;
    When (Not Missing(Amount)) New = 4 ; 
    Otherwise ; 
  end;
run ;
