Answer Posted / nishant
When SAS processes a data step it has two phases.
Compilation phase and execution phase.
During the compilation phase the input buffer is created to
hold a record from external file. After input buffer is
created the PDV is created. The PDV is the area of memory
where sas builds dataset, one observation at a time. The PDV
contains two automatic variables _N_ and _ERROR_.

data data1; input dt account; format dt date9.; cards; 1745 1230 1756 1120 1788 1130 1767 1240 ; data data2; input startdt enddt total; format startdt date9. enddt date9.; cards; 1657 1834 12300 1557 1758 16800 1789 1789 12300 1788 1345 12383 1899 1899 13250 ; proc sql; create table data3 as select * from data1 as x left join data2 as y on x.dt>=y.startdt and x.dt<=y.enddt; quit; Here, we are getting cartision product. But,I want left join report consisting of this program. It should not get duplicate values. you can modify the program also.
