Deborah,


I think you should replace

+  do if (start(#i) le yr_pd_wk and end(#i)>yr_pd_wk).
+     compute validsource=source(#i).
+  else.
+     break.
+  end if.


With just this. I tried to be clever and didn't work the loop logic through
correctly.

+  do if (start(i) le yr_pd_wk and end(i)>yr_pd_wk).
+     compute validsource=source(i).
+  end if.

Also, given how your 'dates' are structured, you don't need to ever look at
the end dates. The start dates have all the information except for the
accounting for the last date.
