I have two datasets bsas1 and bsas2. I want to merge these datasets by name, therefore i used the command 'by name' but it didn't worked although when i run command 'by id' it worked. Why is it so ?.

Because your data is not sorted by name, but by ID. Run the code

 

proc sort data = bsas1;
	by name;
run;

proc sort data = bsas2;
	by name;
run;

and try again.
