Hello, 

 

@Tom wrote the following code so that I could see how my MERGE statement had more than one data set with repeats of BY values:

 

*MERGE statement has more than one data set with repeats of BY values;
proc sort data=paper.CSRP_annual_returns
               out=paper.CSRP_annual_returns2
               nodupkey;
  by ticker;
run;

*Merge CEO data and firm data; 
DATA paper.ceo_firm ;
   length ticker $5 source $10;
  MERGE
    paper.CSRP_annual_returns2 (in=in1)
    paper.compustat_execucomp4 (in=in2)
  ;
  BY ticker;
  if in1 and in2 then source='BOTH';
  else if in1 then source='ANNUAL';
  else source='EXECCOMP';
RUN;

The output includes a variable that tells me which of the two data sets the observation is coming from. It also says which are coming from both. I would like to keep only those rows which have "BOTH" as a source. What is the best way to do this? 

 

Here is an example of what the current output looks like:

You can do that by modifying @Tom's code:

*Merge CEO data and firm data; 
DATA paper.ceo_firm ;
   length ticker $5 source $10;
  MERGE
    paper.CSRP_annual_returns2 (in=in1)
    paper.compustat_execucomp4 (in=in2)
  ;
  BY ticker;
  if in1 and in2;
RUN;
