Append some codes in one proc sql statement

user24 — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 18:02:37 GMT

I want to append these codes in one proc sql statement. Is that possible?

Is that possible with union or union corr?

PROC SQL; CREATE TABLE SGBSTDN AS
SELECT DISTINCT SGBSTDN_PIDM AS PIDM,
'Student' as StatusStudent
FROM STG.SGBSTDN
ORDER BY PIDM
;QUIT;

PROC SQL; CREATE TABLE SARADAP AS
SELECT DISTINCT SARADAP_PIDM AS PIDM,
'Applicant' as StatusApplicant
FROM STG.SARADAP
ORDER BY PIDM
;QUIT;

data STUDENT_PIDM;
merge SGBSTDN SARADAP ;
by pidm;
run;

data student_pidm2;
set student_pidm;
if StatusStudent='' then StatusStudent='Applicant';
run;

proc sql;
create table STUDENT as
select distinct pidm,
StatusStudent,
case
when b.Spbpers_sex IS NULL then "N"
when b.Spbpers_sex ='N' then "N"

when b.Spbpers_sex ='F' then "F"
when b.Spbpers_sex ='M' then "M"
END AS GENDER

from work.student_pidm2 as a left join stg.spbpers as b
on b.spbpers_pidm=a.pidm ;
quit;

Please let me know if it is possible?

What are you trying to do? Combine all your 3 SQL to one step?

Append all the tables together that you created?

Over time, I have come to the conclusion that having several simple steps instead of one complicated step is easier to maintain and usually more performant. This is particularly true when working with PROC SQL.

I think that you could put the last data step and the last SQL in one SQL.
Replace your IF and CASE statements with the coalesce() function to make your code easier and with less hard coding.
