It is highly unlikely (but remotely possible) that the first step is needed.  If it is needed, here is the scenario that it addresses.   Suppose that there is a combination of PLANT/PO that appears in both data sets.  Also suppose that the particular combination has more observations in A than in B.  Then both steps would be needed to remove the observations in A for that PLANT/PO combination and replace them with the observation(s) in B.   For all other scenarios, the first step is useless and can be removed ... unless you actually removed pieces of the DATA step(s) before posting them. ...

If you want to remove duplicate controls then could you try adding the distinct option in the select statement in your proc sql code?  Then, if you want 2 controls per case, you could try proc surveyselect, something like:   proc surveyselect data=controls_id method=srs sampsize=2; strata case_id; run; ...

Taking from other topics in SAS community and a nice dose of SAS help pages/examples, I came up with this solution. Let me know if this solution makes sense or if there is any improvement.    %let data = work.cars; proc freq data = &data (drop= year) nlevels; by Car; ods exclude onewayfreqs; ods output nlevels = out_n_levels (keep = tablevar nlevels rename = (tablevar = name nlevels = n_levels)); *to match out_contents; run; proc sort data=work.out_n_levels; by name; run; ods trace on; proc means data=work.out_n_levels n nmiss sum; class name; var n_levels; ods output Summary=Variable_Levels; run; ods trace off; data work.spec_changes; set work.variable_levels; Var_Ch=mod(n_levels_Sum,NObs); run; ...
