Hello,
I want to merge two datasets as shown below.
data sub;
set orig;
where name="speech";
run;
data main;
merge sub(in=a) orion.play(in=b);
by actor;
if a and b;
run;
If I just run the code above, there is an error saying ERROR: BY variables are not properly sorted on data set WORK.SUB.
However, if i sort the data as below:
proc sort data=sub out=sub;
by actor;
run;
There are still errors saying
How big are these data sets?
Are you using SAS University Edition?
Try option TAGSORT .
proc sort data=sub out=sub tagsort ;
by actor;
run;
