You can't use proc sort in a data-step. Try:

 

proc sort data=PAXBAG.baggage_info_1; 
  by Pax_Key;
run;

proc sort data=PDETAIL.pax_detail_1; 
  by Pax_Key;
run;

data mer03;
	merge PAXBAG.baggage_info_1 PDETAIL.pax_detail_1;
	by Pax_Key;
run;

Thanks, I solve it simply by moving the data mer03 to the bottom line. @andreas_lds  Thank you so so much

proc sort data=PAXBAG.baggage_info_1; by Pax_Key;
proc sort data=PDETAIL.pax_detail_1; by Pax_Key;
DATA mer03; merge PAXBAG.BAGGAGE_INFO_1 PDETAIL.PAX_DETAIL_1; by Pax_Key; 	
	
run;
