Hi Toby,
          Thanks for you reply.
  If i read the dates from cards input.it is working,if i read the same from file( in this case .txt file) it is not working.

  The below code is working fine for me too (like ur code below)
  data date_3;
  attrib
  Rat_Sta_Dat format=yymmdd10. label='Start Date'
  Rat_end_Dat format=yymmdd10. label='End Date'
  ;
  infile cards dsd dlm='09'x;
  input Rat_Sta_Dat ddmmyy10. Rat_end_Dat ddmmyy10.;
  cards;
  26/09/2005 31/12/2005
  ;

  Please try to read two dates on the same line from one raw file. you would get error message.

  Thank you

  Regards,
  Alex S
