I have a dataset with 2 columns and 10 rows like this:

student marks
a  10
b  40
c  39
d  45
e  78
f  65
g  38
h  87
i   98
j  29

I have another single row dataset with 5 columns-

col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
m     k       g      h     s

Now I want to merge both the datasets in such a way that the single row of dataset 2 is joined alongside each row of dataset 1 .The final dataset may look like this:

student marks col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
a 10 m k g h s
b 40 m k g h s
c 39 m k g h s
d 45 m k g h s
e 78 m k g h s
f 65 m k g h s
g 38 m k g h s
h 87 m k g h s
i 98 m k g h s
j 29 m k g h s

 

How do I achieve this. I am working on base sas. Please help

Or a SQL cartesian join:

proc sql;
   select a.*, b.*
      from a, b
   ;
quit;
Data never sleeps
