Table Combination

[yotsuba88]

I have some tables that I really need to combine it together. I just want to keep momr = 1, momr=10, momr=99 for each table. And have additional column on the left side of momr, so I can put a name in. 

All the tables are the same as follow: 

momr	_NAME_	_ewret1__Average_ret	_ewret1__CAPM_Alpha	_ewret1__FF3_Alpha
1	param	1.09	0.21	0.15
1	T	(6.22)	(3.26)	(3.08)
2	param	1.09	0.21	0.15
2	T	(6.20)	(3.46)	(3.42)
3	param	1.00	0.13	0.07
3	T	(5.83)	(2.28)	(1.71)
4	param	1.04	0.17	0.10
4	T	(6.01)	(2.79)	(2.34)
5	param	0.97	0.07	-0.01
5	T	(5.33)	(1.05)	(-0.32)
6	param	0.98	0.06	-0.03
6	T	(5.05)	(0.77)	(-0.68)
7	param	0.90	-0.05	-0.16
7	T	(4.30)	(-0.58)	(-2.98)
8	param	0.78	-0.21	-0.32
8	T	(3.46)	(-2.00)	(-5.47)
9	param	0.67	-0.34	-0.48
9	T	(2.77)	(-2.78)	(-6.66)
10	param	0.27	-0.77	-0.95
10	T	(1.01)	(-5.10)	(-10.01)
99	param	-0.83***	-0.98***	-1.10***
99	T	(-6.04)	(-7.75)	(-11.34)

I really appreciate if someone can help me with it.

What name should be contained in your new variable?

[yotsuba88]

I mean it just like Jump for 1st table, IV for 2nd table

If you want those values automatically assigned in the data step, from where do you get them?

[yotsuba88]

I have 5 datasets that contain table (all tables have the same format),
then I try to combine these 5 datasets in one file.
Is this what you mean?

Thank you.

In your initial post, you wrote:

"And have additional column on the left side of momr, so I can put a name in."

What "name" do you want to have in this new column, and from where do you get it?

[yotsuba88]

The name of table is the name of file. So I am not sure if I can insert one
variable (column) and observation inside.

Let's make some clarifications:

- dataset: a SAS dataset; a member of a SAS library; represented physically as a .sas7bdat file in a directory for which a libname is assigned

- file: usually used for "external file", not a SAS dataset; often contains tabular data that can be imported into a SAS dataset

- observation: a single record (row) of a SAS dataset, consisting of one or more columns(variables)

- variable or column: a single piece of data within an observation; numeric or character

Try to follow this guideline in your posts to avoid confusion.

From what I guess, this might be what you are looking for:

data want;
format dsname $41.;
set
  table1
  table2
  table3
  table4
  table5
  indsname=inname
;
where momr in (1,10,99);
dsname = inname;
run;

Since the variable named as indsname can't be included in the output dataset, we have to create a suitable variable of length 41 (8 bytes max for library name, dot, 32 bytes max for dataset name) for that. Because the format statement comes before the set statement, dsname will be the first (leftmost) variable/column of the new dataset.
