Hi. I have two different datasets named my_data and other_data. Both datasets have an id variable that is 10 char. The first dataset's id variable is named my_id and the later is other_id.
I'm wondering what is the best way to query a list of ids that appear in both datasets?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
SQL handles this pretty well, along the lines of:
proc sql;
create table want as
select my_id from my_date
where my_id in (select distinct other_id from other_data);
quit;
