I have two data sets, A and B. A is larger and contains all the same information as B plus extra (B was created from A using proc sql - selecting distinct observations). I would like to remove everything that is contained in data set B from data set A to have two distinct sets with no duplicate variables.
How would I go about this?
If all the variables are the same
Proc sql;
create table want as
select * from A
except
select * from B
;
quit;
I think @jklaverstijn may have meant NOT instead of NOG
How about this
Proc sql;
Create table c as
Select * from a where nog exists (select * from b);
Quit;
If all the variables are the same
Proc sql;
create table want as
select * from A
except
select * from B
;
quit;
