Dear,
I need compare to two sets of xpt files in different folders. How to compare the xpt datasets and find differences. Please suggest.
Thank you
Extract the datasets from the XPT files into normal SAS datasets and then use PROC COMPARE to check difference between the datasets:
libname testlib xport 'c:\temp\MyFile.xpt';
proc copy in=testlib out=work;
select MyTable1 MyTable2;
run;
proc compare base = Mytable1
compare = MyTable2;
run;
If the dataset names might be the same then import into two different libraries then compare.
