What do you mean by "it is not working"? Can you include your data and code, and the results you are seeing?
Could be solved with a merge, if you don't mind creating a common key-variable in all dataset:
data Table1;
input Var1 $;
key = Var1;
datalines;
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
;
run;
data Table2;
input Var2 $;
key = Var2;
datalines;
A
D
F
G
;
run;
data Table3;
input Var3 $;
key = Var3;
datalines;
B
C
D
F
G
;
run;
data all;
merge Table1 Table2 Table3;
by key;
drop Key;
run;
