Explain the message ‘MERGE HAS ONE OR MORE DATASETS WITH
REPEATS OF BY VARIABLE’.

Answer Posted / christeena

this happens in many to many merge..if we do not have a key
variable to identify that which observation from one data
set to be matched with which observation in the other data
set, a note will appear in the log as 'merge with repeat
set of by values'..So to get rid of this note find a unique
key variable so that observations from the data sets can be
correctly matched..
