I would use Merge statement to combine theree tables (SAS
Datasets). First you have to sort the datasets by common
variable. provide the condition with in merge statement.
For e.g. Three datasets are A, B, C and common var is SSN,
then
DATA Together;
Merge A (IN=A)
B (IN=B)
C (IN=C);
By SSN; Run;

sort all datasets before going to merge
data abc ;
merge aa (in=a) bb (in=b) cc(in=c) ;
by empid /*by variable*/
if a or b or c;/*based on your requirement*/
run;

Answer / akshay surya
Yes we can use joins and Merge statements as well. But in
bothe the scenarios, a commmon variable should be there for
all tables(can have different structures). And also one
should take care when tables contains too many duplicate
values.(may be eliminating the duplicate values is probably
the best way to get the intended result, otherwise output
result will be the reuslt of a cartesian product).

I think sort them with common variables and use merge statement.
No matter if they are of different structures, only that the result will have missing values for nonmatching records. If you wanna avoid this use In() operator OR
use proc sql with Join clause which will just pick matching records.
