Hello

I want to stack multiple data sets using SET statement.

The data sets are: t2001,t2004,t2005  (Please note that last 4 digits are YYMM form).

I want to create a column with information from which data set the observation came from.

If observation  came from data set t2001 then period=2001

If observation  came from data set t2004 then period=2004

If observation  came from data set t2005 then period=2005

What is the way to do it please?

 

Data t2001;
input ID y

1 10
2 20

Data t2004;
input ID y
cards
1 10
3 40

Data t2005;
input ID y
cards

2 25
3 50

run;

Data t_All;
SET t2001 t2004 t2005;
IF observation from data set t2001  then period=2001;
IF observation from data set t2004  then period=2004;
IF observation from data set t2005  then period=2005;
Run;
