Compare ID statement

vandhan — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 08:09:45 GMT

Do you mean using proc compare ?

Let have:

data A with

ID VAR1

1 25

2 33

data B with

ID VAR1

2 20

3 50

Without ID statement comparison will be first row of A with first row of B etc.

With ID statement caomparison will be

A ID=1 with no parallel in B

A ID=2 with B ID=2 etc.
