Hello everyone.

C1 was created by using proc sql, C2 was created by using hash.because there are duplicate when I try to use hash.the method 1 can get desired result but method 2 can not.

any suggestion for method 2(use hash)?

data a;

input x y;

cards;

1 2

2 4

3 6

;

data b;

input x a $;

cards;

1 a

2 b

2 c

3 d

3 e

4 f

;

desired result:

x    y    a

1    2    a

2    4    c

2    4    b

3    6    e

3    6    d

method 1:(this works)

proc sql noprint;

create table C1 as

select a.*,b.a

from a

left join

b

on a.x=b.x

;

quit;

method 2:(this doesn't work)

data C2;

dcl hash h (dataset:'b');

rc=h.definekey('x');

rc=h.definedata('a');

rc=h.definedone();

do until (eof);

set a end=eof;

a='';

rc=h.find();

output;

end;

stop;

run;

Thanks

George

First, are you running SAS 9.2 or above?

That explains it. SAS hash does not support duplicate key until 9.2

Scroll down to the bottom to see how many new functions added to 9.2.

You can make a HashTable's data field to be another HashTable.

I remember Dorfman who is named as Hash man has writen a paper for this case at SAS 9.1 a couple of years ago.

I have read it, but Sorry I can't find its link address any more.

Maybe you can search it at SAS Global Forum 2008 or 2009 paper list?
