sample dataset:-

Manufacturer	Model		Latest Launch
Acura	Integra	2-Feb-14
Acura	TL		22-Dec-15
Acura	CL		23-Oct-15
Acura	RL		5-Dec-14

What's the type and format on the DATE variable?

Is there something you've tried that doesn't work? If so, post the code and log please.

Basically i am able to understand what i have to do in this question .

How should i separate the  vehicles type as i  only need passenger data .

[Reeza]

Assuming you want to filter on date, you need to specify your date as the date9 format, with quotes and a D

where date > '01Jan2017'd;

This assumes your data has a numeric variable with a date format. Otherwise this does not apply.

This is a guess, because your question is unclear. If you want further help you need to take the time to detail your question.

There's nothing shown in your sample above that would allow for that type of filtering.

This tutorial can help you learn how to filter your data

Do you have a vehicle type field in your data that you haven't shown us?
