Proc Sql = Setting two variables equal

[jmoore168]

Hi!

I'm trying to output a status code that was on an account at the same time a specific note code (SQ) was placed.  Here is the code I have:

PROC SQL;
    create table Putback_Report as

SELECT
  ACCT_DIM.ACCT_NUM,
  ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.TRN_DT as REQ_DT,
  ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.TRN_CD as REQ_CD,
  ACCT_STATUS_HIST.STATUS_CD,
  ACCT_DIM.ATTORNEY_CD,
  ATTORNEY_CD_LOOKUP.RECOVERER_CD_DESC

FROM
  RDWP0.ACCT_DIM,
  RDWP0.RECOVERER_CD_LOOKUP ATTORNEY_CD_LOOKUP,
  RDWP0.ACTVT_RSLT_FACT,
  RDWP0.ACCT_STATUS_HIST

WHERE
        ( ACCT_DIM.ACCT_ID=ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.ACCT_ID )
  AND   (ATTORNEY_CD_LOOKUP.RECOVERER_CD=ACCT_DIM.ATTORNEY_CD)
  AND   ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.TRN_CD = 'SQ'
  AND   (ACCT_STATUS_HIST.STATUS_START_DT = ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.TRN_DT)
  AND   (ACCT_STATUS_HIST.STATUS_END_DT = ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.TRN_DT)
  AND   ACTVT_RSLT_FACT.TRN_DT BETWEEN '07JAN2017'd and '07JAN2017'd

The account status history table contains values for all status code history on an account and I need it to match with SQ. I've tried placing (the bold text) after the TRN_Dt, added parenthesis, added >= and <= (SAS stated couldn't recognize <>'s). All I want to do is give me the status code as of Jan 7, 2017.

The output I am getting appears to be a status code (A23) but cannot find it on the account history. 

ACCT_NUM	REQ_DT	             REQ_CD	STATUS_CD
0000000000000000 07Jan2017 0:00:00	SQ	A23

Can anyone confirm my syntax is correct?

Thanks

Whether your syntax is correct depends on the underlying data, which we cannot see.

From the one piece of data you show, it looks like that REQ_DT is a datetime value, not a date value. Are you sure of whether all the variables you have are date and not date time and that you're comparing them correctly?
