if expression

Ranjeeta — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 19:29:38 GMT

How do I write an expression to say that

one date variable at fac A is equal to another date variable at fac B

E.g.

if REMOVAL_DT at SHS = TransferDate at MGH

Is this in a data step? Do you want to set TransferDate equal to REMOVAL_DT or do you want to check if the two are equal?

Please be more specific 🙂

The if statement is only valid in the data step. And you need both variables in one observation, thus you need to merge both datasets.
