What is the difference between proc print and proc contents?

PROC PRINT displays the values of variables. PROC CONTENTS displays the attributes of variables. PROC MEANS computes basic statistics for numeric variables.

What is the use of proc print?

The PRINT procedure prints the observations in a SAS data set for simple reports. PROC PRINT prints a listing of the values of some or all of the variables in a SAS data set. You can produce customized reports using procedure options and statements.

How to compute in proc report?

The syntax of the compute block looks something like: compute <location> <report_item> </ options>; one or more SAS language elements endcomp; The components of the COMPUTE statement include: location Specifies when the compute block is to execute and ultimately what is to be done with the result of the compute block.

What is the difference between proc means and proc summary?

The key difference between PROC MEANS and PROC SUMMARY is that the default action of PROC MEANS is to place the analyses it performs in to your Output Window and in PROC SUMMARY the default is to create an output data set.

What is LS and PS in proc report?

PROC REPORT Option Tables LS= Spacing for line-size. PS= Spacing for page-size. MISSING Do not drop missing values in calculations and groupings. REPORT= Calls specific stored report definition.

What is the difference between proc report and proc tabulate?

Re: Advantages of Proc Report vs proc tabulate Proc Tabulate only produces summary reports, based on class and analysis variables. These summary reports are always tabular in structure, with 3 possible dimensions -- page, row and column dimension. Proc Report produces both "detail" and summary reports.

What is a compute block?

Compute blocks can be used to create both numeric and character variables, and an extensive number of the SAS language elements that give the DATA step much of its power and functionality are also available for use in the compute block. Coordinating with the COLUMN and DEFINE Statements.

What is the difference between proc print and proc report?

In general, PROC PRINT is simple to use and provides a quick approach with minimal statements. However, beyond simple listings, PROC PRINT has limited options, whereas PROC REPORT can also produce simple listings, without too many more statements or options than PROC PRINT, and provides much more flexibility.
