Dataset A has 1000 observations and dataset B has 50 observations and they have no common variables. Is there a way I can combine the 2 datasets such that the same 50 observations of dataset B gets repeated for every 50 observations of dataset A? I also want to label the first 50 observations of the new dataset as 1, the next 50 observations as 2 and so on. Thanks!
This should do it:
data want;
set a;
recno = mod(_n_, 50);
if recno = 1 then group + 1;
else if recno=0 then recno=50;
set b point=recno;
drop recno;
run;

This works like a charm, thank you so much.
