Please see the following data set:

 

Bob Paul 120
Tina Adele 111
Scott Joe 100
Betty Trish 97
Mark Adam 95

 

Three columns: Name#1, Name#2, Score.

 

I would like to join the columns to produce the following:

 

Bob 120
Paul 120
Tina 111
Adele 111
Scott 100
Joe 100
Betty 97
Trish 97
Mark 95
Adam 95

Two columns: Name#1 OR Name#2, Score

 

How can this be done efficiently?

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

One way to do this:

 

data want(keep=Name score);
set have;
array n(*) name1 name2;
do i=1 to dim(n);
Name=n(i);
output;
end;
run;

Data want;

set have (rename=name1=name keep=(name score))

     Have (rename=name2=name keep=(name score));

run;

 

You may need to play with the keep statement. I never remember if you reference a renamed variable with the original or new name in the keep section.
