Hi,

 

I have 2 data sets like below. 

 

Data one

A 1
A 2
B 1
B 2

 

Data two 
A Apple
A Peach
B Banana

 

I need to join them (Cartesian join), but only join by ID (A and B). 

 

This is what I want to get: 

 

A 1 Apple
A 1 Peach
A 2 Apple
A 2 Peach
B 1 Banana
B 2 Banana

 

If I use the below code, 

proc sql;
create table three as
select one.*
,two.*

from one
,two;
quit;

 

What I have got was 

A 1 Apple
A 1 Peach
A 1 Banana
A 2 Apple
A 2 Peach
A 2 Banana
B 1 Apple
B 1 Peach
B 1 Banana
B 2 Apple
B 2 Peach
B 2 Banana

 

Is there any way to only join by the ID (A, B)? 

 

Thank you very much!
