I'm trying to merge two data sets and I can't get the result that I want 

 

this is my code 

proc sort data=vwr2 out=vwr3; by protocol protocol1; run;
proc sort data=pqr2 out=pqr3; by protocol; run;

 

data mmm;
merge pqr3 vwr3;
by protocol;
run;

 

this is the two datasets and the result

ObsProtocol_Novisit_statusWorkflow_Statusprotocolprotocol1

While I'm not sure I can justify your intended result, you want what you want.  So here's an easy way:

 

data mmm;
merge pqr3 vwr3;
by protocol;

output;

call missing(Protocol_No);

call missing(visit_status);

call missing(Workflow_Status);

call missing(protocol1);
run;

By what logic are you making the values missing even they have matching id's for a merge.

Thanks,

data mmm;
inb=0;
merge pqr3 vwr3(in=inb rename=(protocol=protocol1));
by protocol;
if not inb then call missing(visit_status,workflow,protocol1);
run;
