@vipul,

Not so proficient with SAS but can you try "01OCT2015"d?

Problem is the difference in format of variable latest_launch, Please confirm the format.

Hi Rishabh,

I have done that and played with foemating as well as informating of the data but it is still not filtering the data correctly…

I think i should start with a new data set …

Hi,

Please make changes in the date format as provided in this code.
It’ll work fine.

data datefilter;
set formatteddata;
where vehicle_type =‘Passenger’ and Latest_Launch<"01oct14"d;
run;
