I want to merge 9 files.
Each of the files has the same 3 variables:
X, Y, Percent (out datasets from 9 Proc Freq runs)
Two issues come up:
-- Do I have to rename Y in each of the files beforehand? (Doesn't SAS automatically do that?)
-- I don't want to keep the Percent column in any of the files. How to most easily dump that one?
data merged;
merge one
merge two
merge three;
.
merge nine
by X;
run
Any help greatly appreciated.

You have to rename Y since SAS would not do it for you, Keep the variables you need.
data merged;
merge
one(keep=x y rename=(y=y1))
two(keep=x y rename=(y=y2)
three(keep=x y rename=(y=y3))
....
nine(keep=x y rename=(y=y9));
by X;
run;
