I have a merge logic and I am trying to understand what kind of join it is doing. Thank you the help!
merge DATA_A(in=a) DATA_B(in=b) data_C(in=c);
by id_loan_syst_gend;
if a and not c;
This is a match-merge of three datasets by the key variable id_loan_syst_gend. Only rows from DATA_A where there is not a match in DATA_C are kept. Have a look at the examples in the link I provided to understand a match-merge.

I see. If I am re-writing this through query builder, what type of join will A and B be?
The nearest equivalent in SQL is a LEFT JOIN.
