The following code produces a 22-322 and a 76-322 syntax error:
proc sql;
create table InstallDate as
SELECT
FLT.vehicle_header,
FLT.vehicle_no,
FLT.occur_date,
FLT.FAULT_CODE,
FLT.FAULT_DESCRIPTION
FROM RMDEOAP.GETS_DW_EOA_FAULTS FLT
WHERE
FLT.vehicle_header = 'NS'
/*and FLT.occur_date between '25Sep2016:00:00:00'dt and datetime()*/
and FLT.occur_date between '25Jul2017:00:00:00'dt and datetime()
;
quit;
data InstallDate;
set InstallDate;
select min( occur_date) as sw_install_date
group by vehicle_no
;
run;
The error message appears following the statement:
select min( occur_date) as sw_install_date
I'm trying to find the minimum occur_date grouped by vehicle number.
Thanks and best regards.

You only need a single query:
proc sql;
create table InstallDate as
SELECT
FLT.vehicle_header,
FLT.vehicle_no,
FLT.occur_date,
FLT.FAULT_CODE,
FLT.FAULT_DESCRIPTION,
min(FLT.occur_date) as sw_install_date
FROM RMDEOAP.GETS_DW_EOA_FAULTS FLT
WHERE
FLT.vehicle_header = 'NS' and
FLT.occur_date between '25Jul2017:00:00:00'dt and datetime()
group by FLT.vehicle_no;
quit;

Hi PGStats
I tried your suggestion and got the following error:
17 proc sql;
18 create table InstallDate as
19 SELECT
20 FLT.vehicle_header,
21 FLT.vehicle_no,
22 FLT.occur_date,
23 FLT.FAULT_CODE,
24 FLT.FAULT_DESCRIPTION
25 min(FLT.occur_date) as sw_install_date
26 FROM RMDEOAP.GETS_DW_EOA_FAULTS FLT
27 WHERE
28 FLT.vehicle_header = 'NS' and
29 FLT.occur_date between '25Jul2017:00:00:00'dt and datetime()
30 group by FLT.vehicle_no
31 ;
