I haven't ever been a big nested query user, but I'm trying my hand at this one for the sake of brevity in my code. I may have a parenthesis issue, but I've tried a few different ways of adding parenthesis with no luck. Using SAS EG version 7.11.
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE UNQ_MEMBER AS SELECT
DISTINCT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM (
SELECT
DISTINCT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1718
UNION
SELECT
DISTINCT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1819
ORDER BY CIN, ENDDTM
) MEMBERSHIP
GROUP BY CIN
HAVING ENDDTM = MAX(ENDDTM);
RUN;
The following are my separated queries, where I do get the correct results:
/*PULL AND CONCATENATE MEMBERSHIP FOR RELEVANT DATES*/
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE MEMBERSHIP AS
SELECT
DISTINCT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1718
UNION
SELECT
DISTINCT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1819
ORDER BY CIN, ENDDTM;
RUN;
/*GIVES TABLE W/ MOST RECENT DATES*/
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE UNQ_MEMBER AS SELECT
DISTINCT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBERSHIP
GROUP BY CIN
HAVING ENDDTM = MAX(ENDDTM);
RUN;
After trimming a few useless bits:
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE UNQ_MEMBER AS
SELECT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM (
SELECT
CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1718
UNION
SELECT
CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1819 )
GROUP BY CIN
HAVING ENDDTM = MAX(ENDDTM);
QUIT;
After trimming a few useless bits:
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE UNQ_MEMBER AS
SELECT CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM (
SELECT
CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1718
UNION
SELECT
CIN, INSCODE, REGION, MBR_COUNTY, ENDDTM
FROM MEMBER.MM1819 )
GROUP BY CIN
HAVING ENDDTM = MAX(ENDDTM);
QUIT;
Yep that's it thanks
