You are getting MORE records than exist in the source table A, not LESS.
This happens when there are mulitple records in B for some of the key variables. So in this case there are some values of ID and DATE that have more than one record in table B and also appear in table A.
You most have a WHERE or a GROUP BY or some other way that is subsetting the results.
Without seeing the full query and the SAS log it is hard to diagnosis further.
Is there anything else in your SQL that could cause this drop of records (i.e. a DISTINCT in the SELECT clause)?
Please post your SQL code and the related log.

First you were saying that you weren't getting enough records .. now you're showing too many.
Like others have said, post your code and some example data, and an example data file of what you expect.
