Hi Sas Experts,
I have two data sets: A and B. I want to merge both the data sets on Country.
But the problem is the data set "A" Contains two digit country code and data set "B" contains three digit country code.
Is there is a way to convert two digit country code to three digit country code. Below is the data
DATA A;
Input country$ marks;
cards;
IND 20
USA 10
CAN 26
PHL 67
;
run;
Data b;
input Country$ subj$;
cards;
IN phy
US sci
CA math
PH bio
;
run;
Thanks & regards,
Sanjay
Use SUBSTR() to convert the three charater to two character.
Country_Code = substr(country_code, 1, 2);
You can use the isoalpha2 and isoalpha3 in mapsgfk.world_attr to do the mapping, something like this ...
proc sql;
create table a as
select unique a.*, world_attr.isoalpha2
from a left join mapsgfk.world_attr
on a.country=world_attr.isoalpha3;
create table a as
select unique a.*, b.subj
from a left join b
on a.isoalpha2=b.country;
quit; run;
Obs | country | marks | ISOALPHA2 | subj |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | CAN | 26 | CA | math |
2 | IND | 20 | IN | phy |
3 | PHL | 67 | PH | bio |
4 | USA | 10 | US | sci |
