* Concatenations can be accomplished with PROC APPEND or PROC DATASETS; * example from SAS documentation; data animals; input id initial $ animal $ count; datalines; 1 a Ant 5 2 b Bird . 3 c Cat 17 4 d Dog 9 5 e Eagle . 6 f Frog 76 ; data plants; input id initial $ plant $ count; datalines; 1 g Grape 69 2 h Hazelnut 55 3 i Indigo . 4 j Jicama 14 5 k Kale 5 6 l Lentil 77 ; * The end result is to have the new observations added to the first/base/master data set; * This only works if all the variables are common to both data sets. You cannot rename variables in the first data set; proc append base=animals data=plants(rename=(plant=animal)); run; proc print; run; * The syntax of PROC DATASETS is similar; proc datasets; append base=animals data=plants(rename=(plant=animal)); proc print; run;
