Hi everybody,
I try to combine two data sets.
Data Set A and DATA SET B with the variables state and object_id.
For example
Set A
state object_id
1 a
1 b
2 a
SET B
state object_od
1 a
1 b
2 a
2 b
3 a
I want the new Data Set like
SET
state object_id
1 a
1 a
1 b
1 b
2 a
2 a
2 b
Which statement would I need to get the new data set
Regards,
Cons.
The easiest is set:
data want;
set dataseta datasetb;
run;
(assuming object_od in set b was supposed to be object_id)
will combine then
proc sort data=want;
by id object_id;
run;
data A ; input state object_id $; cards; 1 a 1 b 2 a ; run; data B; input state object_id $; cards; 1 a 1 b 2 a 2 b 3 a ; run; data want; set a(in=ina) b; by state; retain in_a; if first.state then in_a=ina; if in_a; drop in_a; run;
