** Notice that at iteration 4, it's comparing records 4 to 4, not 3 to 4, as we humans would do. Here's what I think SAS does conceptually with your program and my attempt: The optional arguments are the data set options. You can keep adding more arguments to join more tables.

Apparently, when you're merging by ID only, SAS ignores all other fields and merges one by one in sequence. By 'in' do you mean coming from a data set Then this would be true only if the dataset option in was used: data junk merge one (ina) two (inb) if a and not b then output end But 'in a' above would mean 'in data set one'.

For each future value that is needed, the user will merge a dataset with the firstobs 1 + leadincrement in the merge. This method merges the data with itself, as many times as necessary, to obtain leads utilizing the firstobs functionality. Before you can perform a match-merge, all data sets must be sorted by the variables that you want to use for the merge. It involves using the merge abilities within the data-step processing. Jymm, your solution seems to have the same problem as my first attempt. Merging with a BY statement enables you to match observations according to the values of the BY variables that you specify. The bad news is that I tried jymm's solution and- no dice. The good news is that I tried teralearner's solution and it worked beautifully. One attempt didn’t work- I tried to sort HOSP by “ID” and “start” and EVENT by “ID” and “date”, then merge by ID only (since the dates won’t necessarily be an exact match).Īny thoughts? Thanks! RE: Merge by date range, not exact date teralearner (TechnicalUser) 29 Apr 03 22:05 So I want my output to have 5 records, merging (A) in HOSP with each (A) in EVENT, (B) with (B) and (C) with (C). The base of merging is, the merging datasets must have a common variable.

Arguments SAS-data-set specifies at least two existing SAS data sets from which observations are read. Merge in SAS is a process which combines observations from two or more SAS datasets. Syntax MERGE SAS-data-set-1 < ( data-set-options )> SAS-data-set-2 < ( data-set-options) > <.

How can I merge these two so that I get a match whenever a procedure was done during a matching hospitalization? The problem is that the data in EVENT may not exactly match any field in HOSP. MERGE Statement Joins observations from two or more SAS data sets into a single observation. When you have two data files, you can combine them by merging them side by side, matching up observations based on an identifier.

I have one dataset (HOSP) with hospitalization data and another (EVENT) with procedure data. Th ose datasets will need to be merged together to create a full picture of the intervention implemented across the course of the study for individual participants.
