Hi, everyone:
I hope to merge 10 datasets into one by using the following:
data want;
set x1 - x10;
run;
But SAS reports that "Multiple lengths were specified for the variable case_no by input data set(s). This may cause truncation of data." Could you please tell me how to specify the length in for want dataset so that when I combine small datasets x1 - x10, there is no truncation?
Thank you!
Simply state a length for case_no that is as large as the largest one :
data want;
length case_no $30;
set x1-x10;
run;

First figure out how long case_no is when it's "longest". Then insert a length or an attrib statement prior to the set.
Thank you for your help. It works

length case_no $30;
