selecting common observation based on all variable names with source dataset name

atul_desh — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 09:45:24 GMT

Hello,

data ds1;

input var1 var2 var3 var4 var5;

datalines;

1 2 3 4 5

6 7 8 9 10

;

run;

data ds2;

input var1 var2 var3 var4 var5;

datalines;

11 12 13 14 15

1 2 3 4 5

;

run;

data want [[common observation from ds1 & ds2, with their source table] ] should be look like :

var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 DS_Name

1 2 3 4 5 ds1

1 2 3 4 5 ds2

Thanks in advance.

What is the purpose of DS_NAME and having the same observation twice, but with a different DS_NAME, that you already know, since you provided the datasets yourself?

If I want duplicate based on var1-var4, then var5 is coming from second dataset only.. is there any way to get correct value :

output is coming like(var5 is coming from ds2 in both the dataset,which should 6 in first observation) :

SAS Output

Obs var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 DS_NAME 1 2

1	2	3	4	7	ds1
1	2	3	4	7	ds2

1 2 3 4 6
6 7 8 9 10
;

data ds2;
input var1 var2 var3 var4 var5;
datalines;
11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 7
;

proc sort data = ds1;
by var1-var4;
run;

proc sort data = ds2;
by var1-var4;
run;

%let d1 = ds1;
%let d2 = ds2;

data want;
merge &d1(in=in1) &d2(in=in2);

DS_NAME = "&d1"; output;
DS_NAME = "&d2"; output;
end;
