I want to know it the FORMAT=DATE9. only for B.REFINANCE DATE or for other var before B.REFINANCE DATE?

You probably need first to inspect your SAS log. Variable names like DELINQUENCY 1 don't comply with SAS naming conventions. The SAS log will return some sort of error.

As for your question: This needs a bit more explanation. We can't know anything about your source tables and variables based on what you share.

[PaigeMiller]

You can't have space in variable names.

In addition

B.REFINANCE DATE FORMAT=DATE9.

is invalid, as you can have only one variable name between the commas in SQL, this is two variable names REFINANCE and DATE.  FORMAT=DATE9. refers to only the one variable (once you fix the name) between the commas.

As far as the larger picture, your code probably produced many many errors in SAS. You either ought to fix them before you come here, or if you don't know how to fix them, then you need to ask about those errors.

Hello @HeatherNewton 
If you have a variable B.Refinance_date (B.refinance date is not correct. It implies two separate variables)  and want to display in the date9. format, then the use of Format=date9.  as shown in your code will work.
