Hi there,
I am looking for a sql code to combine two tables: admission and insurance where a person having coverage in part by 2 insurance companies following each admission. I came across example in community that suggest use of multiple set statements. I am interested to know the possible solution using sql code.
data admission;
input id $ date $ ;
datalines;
1 10102015
1 11103015
;
run;
data insurance;
input id $ company $;
datalines;
1 MOH
1 sunlife
;
run;
/*merge not allow many to many relation*/
proc sort data =admission; by id ; run;
proc sort data =insurance; by id ; run;
data merged;
merge admission (in=a) insurance(in=b);
by id;
if a=b;
run;
Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
Regards,
Deepak
Your SQL step might look like that:
proc sql;
create table merged as
select
a.*,
b.company
from admission a, insurance b
where a.id = b.id;
;
quit;
The resulting table would look like this:
Obs id date company 1 1 10102015 MOH 2 1 10102015 sunlife 3 1 11103015 MOH 4 1 11103015 sunlife
Mind that I won't open a MS Office document from the web. Post data as a datastep or in text form.
What is the expected output?
Hi Reeza,
Expected output is attached for your kind consideration.
