*Example from Prep Guide*;

* first observation;

data DataA1;

  Num=1;

  VarA="A1";

run;

* second observation;

data DataA2;

  Num=2;

  VarA="A2";

run;

* concatenate DataA1 and DataA2;

data DataA1A2;

  set dataA1 dataA2;

run;

* third observation;

data DataA3;

  Num=3;

  VarA="A3";

run;

* concatenate DataA1 - DataA3;

data DataA1A2A3;

  set DataA1 DataA2 dataA3;

run;

data DataA1A2A3b;

  set DataA1A2 DataA3;

run;

* create dataset B;

data DataB;

  Num=1;VarB="B1";output;

  Num=2;VarB="B2";output;

  Num=3;VarB="B3";output;

run;

  

* concatenate A and B;

Data DataAB;

  set DataA1A2A3 DataB;

run;

* how to change the code to align Variable VarA in one column;

* .... so VarB needs to be as VarA in DataB;

Data DataAB;

  set DataA1A2A3 DataB;
