Kathleen,

You can use %INCLUDE in a SAS program to call other SAS programs.

Hello,

I would like to combine multi years of data into one. Each year has a particular data set and a particular program to create a SAS dataset. However, not all programs are the same (e.g. variable names may change throughout the years).

What I would like to do is to create one program that would call on the other programs to create SAS datasets. Then I'll integrate them together and do whatever I it is I need to do.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

Kathleen
