I am trying to find to retain the value of 1 if a specific date (dg_date) occurred within an interval and 0 otherwise. The interval start and end date are presented with the variables, start and end.
data a;
input patientid dg_date : mmddyy10. start : mmddyy10. send : mmddyy10. ;
format dg_date start end mmddyy10.;
datalines;1 5/5/2009 1/1/2006 2/2/2006
1 5/5/2009 2/2/2007 3/2/2007
