Explain the message 'Merge has one or more datasets with repeats of by variables'...

Answer / pricil kurian

This message occur when we merge two datasets having the by
variables with more than one observation in both datasets.
In such scenarios we can't tell the result is true...We are
expecting really a carteisan product in such situation but
it is not the case..Inside the by values it will do a 1-1
merge only. So this note is very important. Use
nomergeby=error option in sas as a option so that we will
get this message as a error. This will avoid ignoring this
message. Use proc sql to merge the dataset such type
situation and proc sql will give a carteisan product. If u
are doing with datastep create unique variable and then
merge.
