PROC Print and Sort
(1) The PRINT procedure prints the observations in a SAS data set, using all or
some of the variables. A variety of reports can be created ranging from a simple
listing to a highly customized report that groups the data and calculates totals
and subtotals for numeric variables.
(2) VAR -Select variables that appear in the report and determine their
order
SPLIT -Specify the split character, which controls line breaks in column
headings
SUM -Total values of numeric variables
ID -Identify observations by the formatted values of the variables that
you list instead of by observation numbers
BY -Produce a separate section of the report for each BY group
(3) NOOBS -Suppress the column in the output that identifies each
observation by number
DOUBLE -Write a blank line between observations
OBS -Specify a column header for the column that identifies each
observation by number
WIDTH -Use each variable’s formatted width as its column width on all
pages
HEADING -Control the orientation of the column headings
