Subject:      Duplicates in both tables allowed in MERGE?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

One of my older SAS books indicates that the BY column in a MERGE may have duplicates in either table being merged, but not both (I'll assume we're merging just two data sets on a single column for now). Another SAS book doesn't make any mention of this limitation. Is this still an issue? Was it ever an issue?

Many thanks...
