I have two tables. I want to delete from table A observations of table B
Table 1
A B
3 5
4 6
1 2
3 4
Table 2
A B
3 5
3 4
Table want
A B
4 6
1 2
If you have two values of A=3 and B=5 in table 1 do you want all of them gone?
Does the final order of the results matter?
If the answer to the first question is yes and no to the second then:
proc sql;
create table want as
select * from table1
except
select * from table2
quit;
Will work.
If you have lots of other variables then additional work will be needed.
