Extracting Observations between a Begin and End Date

[pegasus1225]

Hello,

I have a data that looks like 

ID        Birthdate

1          4/1/1978

2          5/1/1980

3          1/1/1990

4          5/1/1983

5          7/12/1991

I want to create an output dataset that has subjects born between 3/11/1980 to 8/1/1991

What is a simple and straightforward way to do this?

Thank you so much.

If your birthdate variable is a SAS date variable:

data want;
set have;
where '11mar1980'd <= birthdate <= '01aug1991'd;
run;
