Hi,

 

I have 2 datasets (work.one and work.two) and I need to append the data to one another.

 

However, if a record_id is in work.one and work.two I don't want it to merge, just those records_Id where there not in both tables so I have a unique list of accounts. 

 

How can this be done using PROC SQL please? I did think a UNION would work bit not 100%
