Rui,
 
   If you are looking to compare records within a dataset so that
perhaps duplicates can be removed, you can use a PROC SORT step with a
NODUPS option ... another alternative would be to use PROC COMPARE where
you will have to create a second dataset to use in conjunction with the
first ...
 
   Can you be more specific as to your intentions and extent of
comparison between records you are looking to achieve?
 
Anthony.
