Is there any chance to get the CAPTAIN name for the TEAM dataset? Anyone can help, thanks?

 

DATA TEAM;
INPUT TEAM $ SUBTEAM $ CATEGORY $;
DATALINES;
200 001 .
300 . A1
400 002 .
500 . A2
;
run;

 

 

DATA CAPTAIN;
INPUT SUBTEAM $ CATEGORY $ CAPTAIN $;
DATALINES;
001 . GIGGS
. A1 JOHN
002 . MELISSA
. A2 CINDY
;
run;

 

Desired result:

 

TEAM SUBTEAM CATEGORY CAPTAIN
200     001                                GIGGS
300                        A1               JOHN
400     002                                MELISSA
500                        A2               CINDY

Shouldn't that be

proc sort data=team;
 by subteam category;
run;

proc sort data=captain;
 by subteam category;
run;

data want;
 merge team captain;
 by subteam category;
run;

Sir @Tom  Spot on. Great catch. Awesome.I was waiting to do a blunder. Hmm we should swap our "age" coz you are young and very wise and I am the one who is old. Just one request -,  I would also seek your retirement pension so I can safely retire today. 🙂

 

Damn the "missing" values made me blind!!!!
