How to compare a variable between 2 different datasets in SAS

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to compare a variable between 2 different datasets in SAS, please? I would like to assess whether there is a statistically significant difference in median age between 2 different datasets.

Combine the data sets into one, with the variable and indicate the source.

data combined;
set ds1 (keep=age) ds2(keep=age) indsname = source;

data_source = source;
run;

proc npar1way data =combined wilcoxon median;
class data_source;
var age;
run;
