| I have a file with 1000 records and I need to read the last record which contains the date. By using that date I need to read all the records having the date less than the date in the last record and also need to create report. I am not sure how we can read the last record and store the date. Again, need to read the file fom the beginning. Please help. If you need any more information please let me know. |

INPUT @ ;
IF EOF THEN DO; INPUT @??? DATEFIELD ; OUTPUT; END;
DATA B;
INFILE DDNAME ;
IF _N_ = 1 THEN SET A; RETAIN DATEFIELD;
INPUT @?? BDATE ...
IF BDATE < DATEFIELD ;
