here is one solution: 

NEW FILE. 
DATA LIST LIST / id (f8.0) st_date d_date end_date (3adate10). 
BEGIN DATA 
1 , 05/03/2007 , 09/22/2007 , 01/06/2008 
2 , 02/03/2009 , 09/22/2011 , 01/06/2010 
3 , , 04/29/2009 , 08/11/2011 
END DATA. 
LIST. 

COMPUTE good_decision = d_date GE st_date and d_date LT end_date. 
FREQUENCIES good_decision.
