Hello, I want two merge two databases:1) KLD, 2)Compustat They have two common variables: 1)Year and 2)Company Name. Because my data are panel data I have to use both common variables to merge. However, company name is not exactly similar in two databases (they may different in terms of capital letters, abbreviations, spelling errors, etc.) Could you please let me know the coding of how merging these two databases. I am not familiar with SAS, but I have found out SAS can solve this problem. If somebody give me the whole codes for this purpose, I would be very thankful. Kind regards, FA1
