proc sql;
create table numsn as
select distinct b.table,b.column,b.origin,b.originwhere,b.algorithm,b.origindescription,b.role,b.term,b.MAPSUBMITTED
from vcol a right join source_columns b
on a.origin=b.origin
where b.term like "(%)" or b.term="*" and b.MAPSUBMITTED="Y"
group by b.table,b.column,b.origin,b.originwhere,b.algorithm
order by b.table,b.column,b.origin,b.originwhere,b.algorithm;
quit;

 

But in the above code my b.MAPSUBMITTED="Y" condition is not working as i get valiues which are not Y also. any clue where i am wrong ?

You need brackets to ensure the AND works separately from the OR:

 

where (b.term like "(%)" or b.term="*") and b.MAPSUBMITTED="Y"

"and" is evaluated before "or", so the first condition for b.term like "(%)" takes precedence. You may have to enclose the "or" in brackets:

where (b.term like "(%)" or b.term="*") and b.MAPSUBMITTED="Y"
