Please try the proc univariate which will displays the 5 lowest and 5 highest value observation. in that the first lowest and last highest represent the lowest and highest values.

data have;
input HighPrice;
cards;
568.45
571
604.3

Even through proc sql also you could get result

proc sql;
select min(highprice), max(highprice) into:min, :max from have;
quit;

Many procedures available: proc means or summary, Proc Report or Proc Tabulate if want to make pretty output.

proc means data=have max min;

   var highprice;

run;
