code: a and b are two data sets;

proc sql;
create table new3 as
select * from a as x right join b as y
where x.id=y.id;
quit;

error:

proc sql;

74 create table new3 as

75 select * from a as x right join b as y

76 where x.id=y.id;

ERROR 73-322: Expecting an ON.

ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

The right sql syntax uses ON for join conditions and WHERE for data selection.

The error message tells you: ERROR 73-322: Expecting an ON

proc sql;
create table new3 as
select * from a as x right join b as y
on  x.id=y.id;
quit;

You've specified a RIGHT JOIN so you need ON instead of WHERE, which the error is trying to tell you.

ERROR 73-322: Expecting an ON.

Replace WHERE with ON and see if that works.
