TABULATE Procedure

Requirements: At least one TABLE statement is required.

Depending on the variables that appear in the TABLE statement, a CLASS statement, a VAR statement, or both are required.

Tips: Supports the Output Delivery System. See Overview of How ODS Works in SAS Output Delivery System: User's Guide for details.

You can use the ATTRIB, FORMAT, LABEL, and WHERE statements with the PROC TABULATE procedure. For more information, see Statements with the Same Function in Multiple Procedures. You can also use any global statement. For a list, see Global Statements in SAS Statements: Reference.

For in-database processing to occur, your data must reside within a supported version of a DBMS that has been properly configured for SAS in-database processing. For more information, see In-Database Processing for PROC TABULATE.
