Hello All,
i'm trying to merge two databases that do not have a unique linking variable between the two of them.
My first database consists of IDs, with only one ID for each obersvation.
My second database consists of a procedure ID, percents and other information. How I'd like the final data set to look is something like:
ID Procedure
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
1 6
2 2
2 3
2 4
2 5
2 6
Thanks for the help!
Proc sql;
create table want as
select dataset1.* , dataset2.*
from dataset1 , dataset2;
quit;
Known as a Cartesian Join and in SQL is a cross join.
Proc sql;
create table want as
select a.name, b.age
from sashelp.class as a
cross join sashelp.class as b;
quit;
