Hello All,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to solve this problem in SAS. I have two datasets - A & B both having same observations. I want to add all columns from Data B to Data A (given there is no matching ID in two datasets):

 

Data A:

var1 var2

1       2

3       4

5       6

 

Data B:

var3:

7

8

9

 

Data C:

var1 var2   var3

1       2         7

3       4         8

5       6         9

 

Is this possible to do in SAS? I thought of using Proc IML? Is there any SAS Datset procedure to do this?

Ok, I figured out, it's not complicated at all! just using a simple merge :

 

data C;
merge A B;
run;
