Does not look like you want to MERGE the tables as that would imply that you wanted to combine records from different tables based on matching key variables.  Looks more like you want to UNION the two tables.

proc sql ;

create table want as

  select var1,var2,var3_a as var3 from have1

  union

  select var1,var2,var3_b as var3 from have2

;
