When code doesn't work, please show us the ENTIRE log (not just the error messages)

There are a few changes needed for your program.

I would code the first DATA step to actually read the values as dates and not as character value, like so:

data testdata;
input cost_mth : date9. monyyyy : monyy7.;
format cost_mth monyyyy date9.;
datalines;
20NOV2023 NOV2023
1NOV2023 DEC2023
30NOV2023 DEC2023
;

Second you are missing the ";" in you comment statement

In your last DATA step you read the data from the first DATA step, this data set is missing the default_mth variable (in the DATA step you just use the name of a variable, so A.default_mth will not work). Your SQL creates a table with one variable.
