I have the following two datasets -
data filea1;
input id 4. desc $1.;
datalines;
100 A
101 B
102 C
;data filea2;
input desc $1.;
datalines;
G
H
K
;
I want to read the last observation of 'filea1' and get last id from that dataset and increment it by 1 for each observation on 'filea2'. My final dataset should look like -
data output1;
input id 4. desc $1.;
datalines;
100 A
101 B
102 C
103 G
104 H
105 K
;
How can I achieve the same ?
Just append both datasets while following id :
data output1;
set filea1 filea2 (in=in2);
if in2 then i + 1; else i = id;
id = i;
drop i;
run;
