data wombat.orderdata;
set wombat.orders;
if orderdate > '05JUN2003' <- You need to refer to a date literal with a d after the quotation mark '05Jun2003'd
then bonous = 10; <- If orderdate is less than or equal to date what do you want to happen with bonous variable?
run;

I bet your log has the answer. Read it.
bonous is a variable you're trying to create, the condition is never true and you have no alternative value so it's set to missing.
If you are getting an extra column, it means that ORDERDATE is the wrong spelling for your existing variable. Find the proper spelling and try again (following Reeza's advice to add the "d" to the date literal).
