Please let us know how you define "week". Does it start on Saturday, or Sunday, or Monday? Or do you mean last 7 days? Or do you mean something else?

 

Please be specific and detailed.

If you mean the last 7 days of the month, here's a way:

 

data want;
   set have;
   if (intnx('month', startdt, 1) -7) <= startdt < intnx('month', startdt, 1);
run;

Assuming last 7 days.

data want;
set dates;
in_last_7days = startdt >= intnx('month', startdt, 0, 'e') - 7;
run;

Thanks you so much @Ksharp Ksharp.  This is exactly what I was looking for.  To be able to identify the start date of the last week of the month.  I wasn't aware of the NWKDOM function.  Than you for bringing it to our attention!!!
