Multiplying single observations from one dataset to many in another dataset

[smcelroy]

Hello Everyone!

I am trying to create a wealth index using the eigenvectors obtained from a principal component analysis and multiple other variables. My data looks like this 

Dataset 1:                       Dataset 2:

Prin1                                   ID         V1     V2    V3     V4     V5     V6   V7 ....(other variables that are not related but I need to keep)

.23                                       1

.43                                       2

.62                                       3

.12                                       4

.09                                       5

.67                                       6

.82                                       7

I would like to calculate      INDEX=0.23(V1)+.43(V2)+.62(V3)+.12(V4)+.09(V5)+67(V6)+.82(V7)

So I would like to multiply the first observation of dataset 1 by the entire column V1 of dataset 2 and repeat this for all the observations in dataset 1.

This is known as scoring a data set. Look at PROC SCORE and I believe the example section has one specifically on using Factors /principal components/eigenvectors.
