Answer / srinivas
there 3 options to delete duplicate obs
1. nodup
2. nodupkey
3.noduprec
if a entire record is duplicated in sense we use nodup of
nodup rec in proc sort procedure.
proc sort data=dsn nodup/noduprec;
by var;
run;
if a variable is repeated not a entire record . this time
we use nodupkey
proc sort data=dsn nodupkey;
by var;
run;
ex; in a dataset empid is repeated then use this syn. and
the empid is used in by var statement.

Answer / vijay
There are several ways to do this. However the easliest
code-wise is to use PROC SORT. For example:
PROC SORT DATA=mydata NODUPKEY;
BY variable;
RUN;

There are two ways of deleting the records from the dataset
with the help of PROC SORT.
1. Using NODUP/NODUPRECS
2. Using NODUPKEY
The first option deletes the records only if all the
variables values are repeated in the subsequent records.
The second options deletes the records only if the value of
the BY variables given in the BY clause are repeated in the
subsequent records.
