Hi,

I have a

dataset a:                dataset b:

id  size                        id     size

1    3                           2        4

2   4                            3        6

3   5                            4        6

4   6                            5        7

5   7

 

I want to compare these two datasets and want an output, which says id 3 has different size when compared and id 2,4,5 has same size for both the datasets.

 

thank you!

Please try the below code

 

check the want dataset where size has value 1 indicating that for id=3 there is difference in size

 

data one;
input id size;
cards;                
1 3                  
2 4                   
3 5                   
4 6                   
5 .
;

data two;
input id size;
cards;                
2 4                               
3 6                               
4 6                              
5 7                                        
;
  
proc compare base=one compare=two out=want listall;
id id;
run;
