Pulling data based on date criteria

[PhatRam32]

I pulled my data from an external source.. My date field I am using is in the Date9 format.  I keep receiving errors stating not compatible variable type and such.

My data step is as follows:

Data work.test;

set work.data_pull;

where Active_DT > 01JAN2013;

keep MemberID Active_DT;

run;

I have tried in my where statement : > '01JAN2013' d; and still receive errors.

I am sure I am making a silly mistake (new to sas) and can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Greatly appreciate it =).

Nevermind.. I had a space between 2013' and d.. It works now.
