Merging the data sets using macro code

Merging the data sets with a common variable if the datasets has the same prefix name? For example: col1-col10 dsn1-dsn 7 data1 to data6 with common variable of Usubjid. here is the example, I have 7 datasets i need to merge and each of them having the common variable(usubjid) to merge, and all the datasets having the same prefix dsn(dsn1 to dsn7). % macro allmerge (n); data combine ; merge %do i = 1 % to &n; dsn&i %end; ; /* this additional ';' is necessary, the first ';' is for the "%end", while the second ';' is for "Merge" */ by usubjid; run ; %mend; %allmerge (7)
