Specifies a numeric variable that contains the frequency of each
observation.

The effects of the FREQ and WEIGHT statements are
similar except when calculating degrees of freedom.

variable
-
specifies a numeric variable whose value
represents the frequency of the observation. If you use the FREQ statement,
then the procedure assumes that each observation represents n
observations, where n is the value of variable.
If n is not an integer, then SAS truncates it. If n
is less than 1 or is missing, then the procedure does not use that observation
to calculate statistics.
The sum of the frequency variable represents the total
number of observations.
