SAS has also FINANCIAL FUNCTIONS for this type of calculations.

Use for example the FINANCE ACCRINT Function: Computes the accrued interest for a security that pays periodic interest.

 

data _null_;
   issue        =mdy(8, 28, 2021);
   firstinterest=mdy(8, 28, 2022);
   settlement   =mdy(8, 28, 2022);
   rate         =0.0575;
   par          =5000;
   frequency    =1;
   basis        =1;
   r=finance('accrint', issue, firstinterest, settlement, rate, par, frequency, basis);
   put r=;
   my_r = 5000 * 1.0575;
   put my_r=;
run;
/* end of program */
