i have two datasets. 1. dum1 2. all_freqs

data dum1;length btoxgr $7.;
btoxgr='Grade 0'; output;
btoxgr='Grade 1'; output;
btoxgr='Grade 2'; output;
btoxgr='Grade 3'; output;
btoxgr='Grade 4'; output;
btoxgr='T_Btoxg'; output;
run;

 

data all_freqs;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade0';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='GRAN';cnt=12;output;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade2';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='GRAN';cnt=20;output;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade1';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='LYMP';cnt=19;output;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade2';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='KKSP';cnt=90;output;

PARCAT3='LIVER AND KIDNEY';btoxgr='Grade0';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='PLAT';cnt=12;output;
PARCAT3='LIVER AND KIDNEY';btoxgr='Grade2';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='WBC';cnt=22;output;
PARCAT3='LIVER AND KIDNEY';btoxgr='Grade1';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='WBC';cnt=24;output;
PARCAT3='LIVER AND KIDNEY';btoxgr='Grade3';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='AST';cnt=11;output;
run;

 

I would need a dataset that can take all the rows of  all_freqs merged with dum1 in all possible combination i.e. in all_freqs dataset under 1 parmcd we have btoxgr='Grade0' present only, in that case all other grades must be coming for the same paramcd with values 0 in cnt variable.

 

tried using the below code, but nor working.

data dummy; 
merge all_freqs(KEEP=parcat3 param paramcd trt01an trt01a btoxgr IN=A) dum1(in=b); */
BY BTOXGR;if a or b; 
RUN;

 

any help?

I do not understand what you want the output to look like.  Please show what it would look like for the sample data you have provided.

--------------------------
The hash OUTPUT method will overwrite a SAS data set, but not append. That can be costly. Consider voting for Add a HASH object method which would append a hash object to an existing SAS data set

Would enabling PROC SORT to simultaneously output multiple datasets be useful? Then vote for
Allow PROC SORT to output multiple datasets

How about a multlabel format.

 

data all_freqs;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade0';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='GRAN';cnt=12;output;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade2';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='GRAN';cnt=20;output;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade1';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='LYMP';cnt=19;output;
PARCAT3='HAEMATOLOGY';btoxgr='Grade2';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='KKSP';cnt=90;output;

PARCAT3='LIVER AND KIDNEY';btoxgr='Grade0';TRT01A='LZA';PARAMCD='PLAT';cnt=12;output;

proc sort;
   by parcat3 paramcd trt01a;
   run;

proc format;
   value $txg(notsorted multilabel)
      'Grade0' = 'Grade 0'
      'Grade1' = 'Grade 1'
      'Grade2' = 'Grade 2'
      'Grade3' = 'Grade 3'
      'Grade4' = 'Grade 4'
      'Grade0'-'Grade4' = 'Total'
      ;
   quit;

proc summary data=all_freqs nway missing completetypes;
   by parcat3 paramcd trt01a;
   class btoxgr / mlf order=data preloadfmt;
   format btoxgr $txg.;
   freq cnt;
