I assume you mean WITHIN 7 days of opening the account as none of your sample data fits EXACTLY 7 days after opening. Of course "under the hood" dates are just numbers so a simple merge does the trick unless there's another requirement...
data want;
merge aa bb;
by act;
if launch_date < open_date+8 then output;
run;

"Not getting the desired output" - this does not tell us anything about the issue? From your problem:
proc sql; create table WANT as select A.ACT, A.OPEN_DATE, B.LAUCH_DATE from TABLEA A left join TABLEB B on A.ACT=B.ACT where A.OPEN_DATE=B.LAUNCH_DATE+7; quit;
