Hello, 

 

I do need to use proc sql to merge two dataset. 

I am getting an error when I am using following code. It seems like I am getting error from line 4 (from lptssp.dm a ). 

SAS Code:

 

proc Sql;
	create table _input_dataset_ex as
		select a.usubjid, a.arm,  
			from lptssp.dm a 
				right join (select * from &input_dataset_ex) b 
					on a.usubjid=b.usubjid
				where a.arm ne '';
quit;

Error:

Error log: 

 

MPRINT(D0UNBLIND0EX): proc sql;
NOTE: Line generated by the invoked macro "D0UNBLIND0EX".
218 create table _input_dataset_ex as select a.usubjid, a.arm,

that comma after 'a.arm' is likely the culprit. There shouldn't be a comma before the FROM statement.
