The resultant dataset depends on the input datasets.
In case of one to one and one to many both work
similarly,i.e. the resultant dataset is same.
But differs in case of many to many and non matching
datasets:
many to many:
ex: (merge on x) (proc sql)
X Y X Z X Y Z X Y Z
----- ------ ------- -------
1 A 1 F 1 A F 1 A F
1 C 1 R ---> 1 C R 1 A R
2 B 2 G 2 B G 1 C F
1 C R
2 B G
NON MATCHING DATA:
ex: (merge on x) (proc sql)
X Y X Z X Y Z X Y Z
----- ------ ------- -------
1 A 1 F 1 A F 1 A F
2 B 3 T ---> 2 B . 3 C T
3 C 4 G 3 C T
4 . G
