Here's the simplest program that might work:

 

data want;
   set A;
   set B;
   keep id tna ret;
run;

If you were to actually describe your intentions, a better program might be possible.  This program just matches observation by observation:  first from A with first from B, second from A with second from B, third from A with third from B, etc.  Perhaps that is what you want, but if not you will have to do more of the work.

What have you tried? SQL or Data step?

 

If you're not familiar with merges at all, the documentation has a full set of examples here (with code and data examples):

You want to look at one to one merging or match merging section.
