Hello All

I have two datasets in this way

XXXX                                 yyyy
a 1                                 a 2
b 1                                 b 2
c 1 etc;.                           c 2 etc;.

As you can see both the datasets have the smae variable names. I need to
compare both the variables by keeping both values to see the
cocordance/discordance between them.I know that i can merge them and compare
them.The problem is, i have 80 variables and i have to rename all of them
for one of the dataset and then do a merge to compare.
I can do that,but as you can see it is such a laborious process, I need to
know if there is any easier way to do that.

Thanks all in advance,

Also i need to thank all the SAS listserv group people who have replied to
me earlier too, i am glad to be a part of this group,Thanks again.
