It works!! Thank you so much 🙂
Why that order?
If you need to be able to preserve or recreate that order then you need another variable.
data ds1 ;
group +1 ;
input id $ name $ ;
cards;
x1 ABC
X2 xyz
X3 PQR
;
data ds2;
group +1 ;
input id $ name $ ;
cards;
Y1 AAA
Y2 BBB
Y3 CCC
;
data want ;
set ds1 ds2 ;
by group;
run;
Otherwise the first time you sort your new dataset the interleave of the X's and the Y's will be lost.
Obs group id name 1 1 x1 ABC 2 1 Y1 AAA 3 2 X2 xyz 4 2 Y2 BBB 5 3 X3 PQR 6 3 Y3 CCC
