I have a stock dataset. I would like to create 1 extra row, which is the date, after the last date of the stock in the dataset. So for example, my dataset contains prices for stock IBM from 20190102 until 20190630. I want to create 1 extra row for the date 20190701.  One extra requirement is that it cannot be a holiday, i.e. It has to be a business date.

I have a dataset called TRADINGDAYS that has 1 column of dates that are business dates. it looks like this. The dataset is attached

Begin 
20190102
20190103
......
20191230

The easy part can be solved like this.

 

Post your tradingdays data if you want that included as well

 

data want;
   do until (last.stock);
      set sashelp.stocks;
      by stock;
      output;
   end;
   date + 1;
   output;
run;

Ok, just needed the structure. Here, I created a very simple replica of your tradingdays data set. It is just the day after the last date for each atock in sashelp.stocks. 

 

See if it works for you

 

data tradingdays;
input begin :ddmmyy10.;
format begin ddmmyy10.;
datalines;
02/08/1986
run;


data want(drop=begin);

   dcl hash h(dataset : "tradingdays(rename=begin=date)");
   h.definekey("date");
   h.definedone();

   do until (last.stock);
      set sashelp.stocks;
      by stock;
      output;
   end;

   do until (h.check());
      date + 1;
   end;
   
   output;
run;
