Very nice. May i request what didn't work? I find that strange as my test yielded the correct results. Plus will help me learn from my mistakes

4915  data dates;
4916  do dates=15218,17166;
4917  output;
4918  end;
4919  format dates date9.;
4920  run;

NOTE: The data set WORK.DATES has 2 observations and 1 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           0.00 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds

Results:

dates
31AUG2001
31DEC2006
