I have the table "Medium_table" which contains information about the "type" "medium" in the second table "Product_table". So I want to add the rows in the "Medium_table" to each row where type=medium in the "Product_table" table. There is a very specific example below where the table I want is called "Resulting_table"

 

 

 

Medium_table

Size          Code1           Code2          Code3           Code4 

41              0983             9903             3339              3490

42              1048             2093             3988              3100

43              2311             1110             1101              4444

44              6780             1033             4789              0002

 

 

 

Product_table

Use set with the point=option:

data result;
set product_table;
where type = 'Medium';
do i = 1 to nobs;
  set medium_table point=i nobs=nobs;
  output;
end;
drop i;
run;

Post test data in the form of a datastep, hence this is untested:

data medium_table;
  set medium_table;
  type="Medium";
run;

data want;
  merge product_table (where=(type="Medium"))
             medium_table;
  by type;
run;

A very simple method would be to build a cartesian join in SQL:

proc sql;
create table result2 as
select *
from product_table a, medium_table b
where a.type = "Medium";
quit;

Or you could use a hash object for the medium table:

data result3;
set product_table;
where type = 'Medium';
attrib
  size length=8
  code1-code4 length=$8
;
if _n_ = 1
then do;
  declare hash h(dataset:'work.medium_table',ordered:'yes');
  h.definedata('size','code1','code2','code3','code4');
  h.definekey('size');
  h.definedone();
  declare hiter hi('h');
  call missing(size,code1,code2,code3,code4);
end;
rc = hi.first();
do until (rc ne 0);
  output;
  rc = hi.next();
end;
drop rc;
run;
