Abstract:
Many people shy away from PROC REPORT because of its mysterious defaults. Put another way, REPORT acts differently than other SAS PROCs. However, once you see how REPORT works you may never want to go back to other PROCs.
PROC REPORT does the yeoman's wor
k of PROC PRINT, SORT, FREQ, MEANS, and TABULATE, and PUT-statement formatting (DATA _NULL_) all in one procedure. This workshop uses examples to examine how to produce listings with batch-mode PROC REPORT. The workshop thoroughly looks at the PRINT, SORT
and DATA _NULL_ aspects of PROC REPORT and also introduces the FREQ, MEANS and TABULATE aspects of report.
