I have above code. proc sql shows how I would do the join using sql. But I want to perform the join using merge and not sure how to do it

 

it is an inner join using 2 columns

those 2 columns don't have same name in both tables

Try adding the IN option to both on the data set statement and then filtering on that to control for an inner join.

 

data;
     merge may_nomatch_2(IN=T1 rename=(Loan_9=LOAN PropZIP=Property_Zip)) 
                march2018_3_9char (IN=T2);
     by Loan_9 PropZIP;

If T1 and T2; *inner join;

run;
