If I understand you correctly, the easiest and fastest is probably to use PROC APPEND:

proc append base=dataset_1 data=dataset_2(where=(dist<5000));
run;

You really shouldn't tag users in a question unless you only want that persons answer. They're also under no responsibility to answer your question. In fact, I usually don't when someone does that. 

 

You can use WHERE to filter the results in a SET statement. 

 

data want;
Set first second(where = (dist < 5000));

Run;

And  did actually want the 0 distances or only the non-zero distances < 5000?
