Hello,

 

I have a dataset x with tempID_1 to 3.   I would like to do the following steps:

1. If TempID_3 are duplicates, and TempID_1 are the same IDs, then the comment is the same.

2.  Otherwise, it's not.

 

Data Y is the result I am looking for.  Thanks.

 

data x;
      infile datalines dsd;
  input TempID_1 : $15. TempID_2 : $15.  TempID_3 : $15. ;
datalines;
21156, 8946, 7852,  
21156, 8956, 7852,
