Sorry...typed too quick.

I used the 'LE' operator, when the question was BEFORE 01SEP2008. The operator should have been 'LT'.

Hi All:

For some reason I keep running different tests and cannot get this to work. I pulled a bunch of data that has a date attached to it and has a DATE9. format and informat. All I want to do is only keep the observations with dates before 01SEP2008. I have tried different things and cannot figure it out. Any code or advice would be greatly appreciated and help me so much.

Thank you
