Corresponding Key Chromosome Number Variable from Merge Input SAS Data Set (1-12)

Note: You can specify as many as twelve (1 - 12) unique variables, depending on the number of QTL plots that you are comparing. Each variable must come from a unique Merge Input SAS Data Set (1-12).

Use this field to specify the chromosome number variable from the Merge Input SAS Data Set (1-12) by which to merge. The values in this variable must be in the same order as the Base Key Variable specified in Key Chromosome Number Variable from Base Input SAS Data Set. This variable must also have valid values that match the values of the Base Key Variable. This must be a numeric variable.

To Specify a Corresponding Key Chromosome Number Variable from the Merge Input SAS Data Set:

Specify the unique Merge Input SAS Data Set (1-12).

All of the variables in the specified data set are displayed in the Available Variables field.

Examine the list of available variables.

Highlight the chromosome number variable whose values indicate how chromosomes are to be labeled in the output.
