Dear All,
I was wondering if there was any way to check if two datasets are the same? For example, I want to check if set 1 and set2 are identical. In this case they wouldn't be. Also, it's for a much bigger dataset if that makes any difference.
data set1;
input Name :$upcase4. Age Net Reg Loss;
cards;home 300 200 50 .
home 100 80 . 5
TDR 80 75 . 3
TDR 70 . 5 .;;;;
run;
data set2;
input Name :$upcase4. Age Net Reg Loss;
cards;home 300 200 50 .
home 100 80 . 6
TDR 80 75 . 3
TDR 70 . 5 .;;;;
run;
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Jack
PROC COMPARE should do what you want.
data set1;
input Name :$upcase4. Age Net Reg Loss;
cards;
home 300 200 50 .
home 100 80 . 5
TDR 80 75 . 3
TDR 70 . 5 .
;;;;
data set2;
input Name :$upcase4. Age Net Reg Loss;
cards;
home 300 200 50 .
home 100 80 . 6
TDR 80 75 . 3
TDR 70 . 5 .

proc compare data = set1 compare = set2;
run;
Note that it can be used with by groups as well.
