Problem Note 10527: PROC SUMMARY/MEANS produce incorrect results if HEX format used on CLASS
variable
PROC SUMMARY/MEANS will produce incorrect results when one or more CLASS
variables are formatted to the HEX format with a width less than 16.
This occurs with the default SAS system option or if the PROC statement
option is set to THREADS. In order to circumvent this problem, set the
SAS system option or PROC statement option to NOTHREADS.
OPTIONS NOTHREADS;
or
PROC SUMMARY DATA=DSN NOTHREADS;
