"/" is the default split character in proc report. That's why the date is printed on multiple lines.
Try this to see if that works for you: proc report data=sh1.week_sch
STYLE(Header)={background=lightgreen foreground=black}
style(column)={background=White foreground=black}
style(report)={width=10in} split='~';

define Friday_order / display "Friday  &x ";

Or just use a different delimiter when generating the date value.
