PROC COMPARE

[sam369]

Hi Community,

i have a situation ,like i am comparing the pervious database to new database.

For exapmple . AE dataset. we collected Ae dataset in 2011 and 2012. I am comparing both datasets.

i need to show the newly added records. difference between old and new. I am using this code

proc compare base = ae

             compare = aenew

             out = difs

             OUTNOEQUAL LISTEQUALVAR LISTCOMPVAR LISTBASEVAR

             MAXPRINT=300

             ;

  id usubjid;

run;

in new data(2012) one or more usubjid have extra records. How to display new reocord and how to display the variable having different values

Thanks

Sam

https://communities.sas.com/thread/33633 I am sure this would help. Proc compare compares each column from table 1 to table 2 in a row. For example if there is a rundate in table1 and rundate in table2 need not be same even you started to run the code same time to get table1 and table2. For comparing two tables I am sure this is going to be usefulcode. /* first outer join table1 and table2*/ Proc SQL; Create table table1andtable2outerjoin as Select a.id as id_1, a.name as name_1, b.id as id_2, b.name as name_2 From table1 as a   Full Outer Join   table2 as b   on a.id = b.id and     a.name=b.name;   Quit; /*to see rows only in table2 not in table1 you can add more columns for comparison*/   Data tablenew;   Source = 'two';   Length Source $5;   Set table1andtable2outerjoin ;   if missing(id_1) and missing(name_1) then output;   Format Source $5.;   Informat Source $5.;       run; /*to see rows only in table1not in table2 you can add more columns for comparison*/ Data tableold; Source = 'one';   Length Source $5;   Set table1andtable2outerjoin;   if missing(id_2) and missing(name_2)  then output;     Format Source $5.;   Informat Source $5.;   run; /*to see rows side by side*/   Data tablenewold;   Set tablenew tableold;   run;
