i have datasets that have 30 columns. I would like clean up datasets by removing dulplicates using _all_ and redirect the duplicate records to another dataset.
proc sort data=have nodupkey out=_duprecs;
by _all_;
run;
this code doesnt seem to do what I want.
any help on this ?
Is the below what you are trying to do?:
data class (drop=i); set sashelp.class; do i=1 to 5; output; end; run; proc sort data=class nodupkey out=dups_removed dupout=_duprecs; by _all_; run;
