Hi @Sri_devi,

it looks as if your date columns are character values.

If so, you have to convert them into date values: For an example:

Please post the code, the log and explain why do you think that sorting by date doesn't work.

Re: merging the data sets where all the columns having repeated data values

Posted 08-08-2022 09:14 AM (1902 views)  |   In reply to Sri_devi

If you want a specific sort order from SQL, you must tell it so:

proc sql;
create table vendor_crf1 as
  select
    a.Site_number,a.Subject_ID,a.Date_of_birth,a.Gender,a.Visit_name,a.Sample_not_taken,a.Sample_date,a.Sample_time,a.CATGY,a.Laboratory_test,a.Clin_sign,
    b.Vendor_Site_number,b.Vendor_Subject_ID,b.Vendor_Date_of_birth,b.Vendor_Gender,b.Vendor_Visit_name,b.Vendor_Sample_date,b.Vendor_Sample_time,b.Vendor_CATGY,b.CAT,b.TEST,b.Vendor_Clin_sign,
    coalesce(a.sample_date,b.vendor_sample_date) as s_date, coalesce(a.sample_time,b.vendor_sample_time) as s_time
  from CRF_Demog as a FULL JOIN external as b on
    a.Subject_ID = b.Vendor_Subject_ID and
    a.Visit_name = b.Vendor_Visit_name and
    a.Sample_date = b.Vendor_Sample_date and
    a.Sample_time = b.Vendor_Sample_time and
    a.CATGY = b.Vendor_CATGY
  order by
    s_date, s_time
;
quit;

The COALESCEd variables are necessary because of the FULL JOIN.
