I want to compare similar rows in (col4 to col10) and their negative matches in col1 col2 col3 and I want to detect if some rows are not similar on col4 to col10; in this example col6 is not similar
Why col6? i don't understand this logic. Please be more specific.
Please don't use only upcase-letters in the subject, this is called "screaming" i prefer not be yelled at.
You will also want to post the data in usable form: a data-step using datalines/cards and extend the data so that all cases you are looking have an example.
data have;
input col1 col2 col3 $ col4 $ col5 $ col6 $ col7 $ col8 $ col9 $ col10 $;
datalines;
