This example uses PROC SQL and the "Outer Union Corr" Set Operator to concatenate the two SAS tables within an "Inline View." The CORR keyword aligns the columns by corresponding column names.

The ORDER BY clause orders the results by the column ID, producing the interleaved results.

Any columns which do not have corresponding columns are retained in the result set.
