Hi Ksharp!
The code works, but sometimes (with some individuals in the data "n") the code gives error ( "ERROR: Key not found") in the final data set ( "final_want"). Why?
Reading the forum I found that this may be due to using "h.find ()" instead of "rc=h.find ()". what do you think?
Thank you!
Alan
Yes. use "rc=h.find ()" instead of "h.find()" .
Is it ok like this?
Is added something else?
data final_want; if _n_=1 then do; if 0 then set have; declare hash h(dataset:'have'); h.definekey('individual'); h.definedata('sire','dam','sex','birth_year'); h.definedone(); end; call missing(of _all_); set want; individual=node; rc=h.find();/***<---****/ run;
Yes. That is what I referred to .
