Subject:      sub-setting by date format

I have a quick question about date formats
I have a yymmdd2. format that pulls the 'year' off.
I want to sub-set a dataset by a specific year. Something like this:
if year=99 then do;
.
.
.
end;
I've tried substr(var,1,2), but no good.
but it doesn't seem to work - any thoughts?
