sql - SAS: Left join works for defined numbers but not for a selected list of numbers -


let's have 3 tables:

data con1; input id age; cards; 11 22 23 32 32 3 14 73 ; run;  data con2; input id age; cards; 11 22 23 32 32 3 14 73 15 11 7 15 ; run;  data con3; input id height; cards; 11 150 23 180 32 181 14 175 15 149 7 159 ; run; 

now want make left join between con2 , con3 rows not in con1.

proc sql; create table works  select * con2 id not in (select id con1); run;  proc sql; create table want  select a.*, b.height works left join con3 b on a.id=b.id; run; 

this works fine, don't fact have needed 2 steps.

so goal in 1 step should somehow this:

proc sql; create table want_fails select a.*, b.height con2 (where=(id not in (select id con1))) left join con3 b on a.id=b.id; run;  

and don't understand how resolves in error, when on other hand following statement working fine:

proc sql; create table want_works select a.*, b.height con2 (where=(id not in (11 23 32 14))) left join con3 b on a.id=b.id; run; 

here error:

error 22-322: syntax error, expecting 1 of following: quoted string, numeric constant, datetime constant, missing value, -.
error 76-322: syntax error, statement ignored. error: syntax error while parsing clause. error: invalid value option. error: options file work.con2 not processed because of errors or warnings noted above.

so can please tell me i'm overlooking?

i have workaroud create view prefere solution @user2877959.

proc sql; create view test select * con2 id not in (select id con1); create table want_works2 select a.*,b.height test left join con3 b on a.id=b.id; 

you cannot have subquery in where= dataset option.

does not want?

proc sql;   create table want_works   select a.*,          b.height   con2   left join con3 b     on a.id=b.id   a.id not in (select id con1); run;
