MERGEName:
For each of the two data sets, we define "match" variables and "carry" variables. We assume that both sets of data have the same number of match and the same number of carry variables. The number of match variables is specified by entering the command (before the MERGE command)
The number of carry variables is specified by entering the command (before the MERGE command)
If these commands are not entered, the default is one match variable and one carry variable. Currently, a maximum of three match variables and eight carry variables are allowed. The merge is performed as follows:
Note that values of the "match" variables which exist for only one of the data sets are omitted in the merged data set.
<my1> ... <myk> <cy1> ... <cyl> <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <mx1> ... <mxk> are the k match variables for data set one; <cx1> ... <cxl> are the l carry variables for data set one; <my1> ... <myk> are the k match variables for data set two; <cy1> ... <cyl> are the l carry variables for data set two; <mz1> ... <mzk> are the k match variables for the merged data; <cz1> ... <cz2l> are the 2*l carry variables for the merged data; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional. If there are NMATCH match variables and NCARRY carry variables, then there will be NMATCH + 2*NCARRY variables to the left of the "=" and 2*(NMATCH + NCARRY) to the right of the "=". on two variables.
