Subject:   question about time for running a MERGE program...
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello sas expert,

I want to know if it's normal to run a program for more than an hour. Actually, I am working with a 3.5 millions data dataset. I am running the following program for more than an hour and half, it's still running.

proc sql; create table merged as select a.*, b.* from firstdataset as a, seconddataset as b where a.date=b.date; quit;

The firstdataset contains more than 3.5 millions.

Thanks.

Jimmy
