Hi,
I have 4 sas7bdat files , wanted to concatenate them for data manipulation . How can i import the same to sas university edition and perform concatenation ?
data want;
merge myfiles.dataset1 myfiles.dataset2 myfiles.dataset3 myfiles.dataset4;
by somevariablename; /* Optional */
run;
You don't import the .sas7bdat files. Instead, you point SAS to the folder they are stored in by using a LIBNAME statement.
Something like this:
libname myfiles "/folders/myshortcuts/temp/temp";
data want;
merge myfiles.dataset1 myfiles.dataset2 myfiles.dataset3 myfiles.dataset4;
by somevariablename; /* Optional */
run;
