I have 2 SAS tables, both of them have similar IDs. I want to filter table 1 to have only the IDs in table 2.

Hi and welcome to the SAS Communtiy 🙂

 

See if this is applicable to your actual problem. Otherwise, don't hesitate to ask

 

data table1;
input id var1;
datalines;
1 10
1 20
2 30
2 40
3 50
3 60
;

data table2;
input id var2;
datalines;
1 10
1 20
3 50
3 60
;

data want;
    if _N_=1 then do;
        declare hash h(dataset:'table2');
        h.definekey('id');
        h.definedone();
    end;

    set table1;

    if h.check()=0;
run;

Hi.

 

If ID are integers you could try direct addressing

 

For range up to 1mln it will required ~8MB of RAM, for 10mln it will required ~8oMB, for 100mln it will required ~8ooMB, and so on...

 

All the best

Bart
