Hi:
In a merge step, I'd like to exclude certain observations from being matched or merged. How would I code this?
Thanks!!
If the condition is simple such as a specific value the easiest may be a WHERE clause dataset option
data merged;
merge a (where=(age > 25))
b (where=(LastName ne 'Smith'))
;
by id;
run;
If multiple conditions using functions are needed you'll likely need to subset the data separately.
