SAS dates are simply numbers, the number of days since Jan 1, 1960, so a simple DO loop will do the trick.  The 'date'd nomenclature is a method of specifying human-readable dates that SAS will convert to internal format.

data dates;
  format date yymmddd10.;
  do date = '01jan2005'd to '31dec2005';
     output;
  end;
run;

proc print;
run;
