Art Carpenter demystifies the powerful REPORT procedure and shows you
how to incorporate this highly flexible and customizable procedure into
your SAS reporting programs. Combining his years of SAS experience with
a talent for instruction, Art offers clear and comprehensive coverage
that demonstrates how valuable this procedure is for both summarizing
and displaying data. Illustrated with over two hundred examples and
sample exercises to reinforce your learning, this resource provides you
with information that you can put to immediate use. The text is divided
into three distinct sections. Part 1 introduces you to PROC REPORT,
showing you how it works and 'thinks.' This section is designed to be
read linearly by users who are unfamiliar with the procedure. Part 2 is
a collection of increasingly more complex examples that feature advanced
options and capabilities. It also introduces the relationship between
PROC REPORT and the Output Delivery System (ODS). Part 3 incorporates
the options and statements described in Parts 1 and 2 into a series of
examples that highlight many of the extended capabilities of PROC
REPORT. Included in this section is a discussion of a few ODS statements
and options that might be useful to a PROC REPORT programmer, plus an
in-depth look at the PROC REPORT process itself, especially as it
relates to the execution of compute blocks.
