Hi all,


        I have two data sets called AE and Treatment.  In AE data set I
have the information about 43 subjects and in Treatment data set I have
24 subjects only.

when i Try the Following code

data work.adverse_event;
merge work.ae (in = work.ae)  work.treatment (in = work.treatment);
by sno;
if ae and treatment;
run;


I am getting the error message of "Variable name is not valid".

Anyone please help me to merge these two datasets.

Thanks in advance.


Regards,


Ramsathish S
