I have attached the two datasets I'm working with. I need to merge the staffmaster and staffchanges datasets but exclude the people found in the staff changes from the staffmaster dataset. How could I go about doing that? I've attached the two datasets.

proc sql;
create table StaffCurrent as
select * from StaffMaster
where empId not in (select empId from StaffChanges);
quit;
