I need output only if below condition satisfies
Output if, Sample ID "Serum" is present in dataset A and (COL) = NO or MISSING in the dataset B for same acc ID.
Populate NEW_VAR: Sample not collected in B
Please post data in usable form and describe exactly the expected result.
You need to help us help you by providing sample data (via a working SAS datastep), show the desired result and explain the logic to get from have to want.
The following code totally based on assumptions and untested. ....and I won't answer any questions unless you provide at least sample data via a data step which I just can copy/paste into a code window and execute.
data want;
if _n_=1 then
do;
if 0 then set b(keep=acc_id col);
dcl hash h1(dataset:'b(keep=acc_id col where=(col in (' ','NO')))');
h1.defineKey('acc_id');
h1.defineDone();
end;
set a;
if sample_id='Serum' and h1.check()=0 then output;
run;
