SAS - proc report - column statement
The
column and the
by statement defines which variables from the input
data set is used.
Variables that are not listed in the column and by statements are not used.
The variables can the also be used in the compute block.
For each variable, a respective
define statement should be used. If not, sAS provides a default
define statement.
proc report can be run without
column statement. In this case, SAS creates a default
column statement with the variables of the input data set.
In order to see what defaults
proc report generates, the
list option can be used.
