Hello,

 

If I want to select a unique record by ID (mid), and I have two combinations of the ID, how do I pull that from a single table?

which one do you need to pick from communication_nm as i see those are two different values?

It really doesn't matter, it could be random or based on date/time. This is occurring because someone submitted this campaign from an application twice (which is why the ID remains the same), but changed the name of the communication.

Try PROC SORT with the NODUPKEY option.

What do you mean by 2 combinations?

 

Why doesn't a straightforward WHERE condition work?

 

where mid = 'M12341234';

Good question, it's because there are other ID's from that table that will need to be pulled as well. That's why I can't specify one unique ID in a where statement.
