Hash table finding key

[Matt3]

Hi,

Could anyone please tell me If is it possible to check if record with specific keys and without other key exist in table by hash table (find() or check() method):

green color is what am trying to do:

     proc sql;
         create table sample3 as
         select t2.zm_cel, t3.zm_cel as zm_cel_sweek,t4.zm_cel as zm_cel_1week,t5.zm_cel as zm_cel_2week,t6.zm_cel as zm_cel_3week,t7.zm_cel as zm_cel_4week, t1.* from temp t1 left join temp2 t2
         on (t1.id_pesel=t2.id_pesel and t1.week=t2.week and t1.date_record_generation=t2.date_record_generation)
         left join temp2 t3
             on (t1.id_pesel=t2.id_pesel and t1.week=t3.week and t1.date_record_generation<>t3.date_record_generation)
         left join temp2 t4
             on (t1.id_pesel=t2.id_pesel and (t1.week_m1=t4.week or t1.week_p1=t4.week))
         left join temp2 t5
             on (t1.id_pesel=t2.id_pesel and (t1.week_m2=t5.week or t1.week_p2=t5.week))
         left join temp2 t6
             on (t1.id_pesel=t2.id_pesel and (t1.week_m3=t6.week or t1.week_p3=t6.week))
         left join temp2 t7
             on (t1.id_pesel=t2.id_pesel and (t1.week_m4=t7.week or t1.week_p4=t7.week));
         quit;

I would like to use hash table because temp2 table is relatively small and sql method is not efficient.

Let's say you want all the records in dataset HAVE, which match variable A in dataset TEST, but do not match the combination of A&B in TEST. Although it could be done with a single hash object, this two-hash-object solution (untested) is simpler:

data want;
  set have;
  if _n_=1 then do;
    declare hash h1 (dataset:'test (keep=a)');
      h1.definekey(all:'Y');
      h1.definedone();
    declare hash h2 (dataset:'test (keep=a b)');
      h2.definekey(all:'Y');
      h2.definedone();
  end;

  rc1=h1.check();
  if rc1=0;
  rc2=h2.check();
  if rc2^=0;
run;
