PROC COMPUTAB: Cash Flows :: SAS/ETS(R) 9.22 User's Guide

The COMPUTAB Procedure

Example 9.7 Cash Flows

The COMPUTAB procedure can be used to model cash flows from one time period to the next. The RETAIN statement is useful for enabling a row or column to contribute one of its values to its successor. Financial functions such as IRR (internal rate of return) and NPV (net present value) can be used on PROC COMPUTAB table values to provide a more comprehensive report. The following statements produce Output 9.7.1:
