Usage Note 19736: Multiple table requests in PROC SURVEYFREQ may result in incorrect table
results
When you have multiple table requests in a single PROC SURVEYFREQ step
and there are missing values in any of the analysis variables, the
procedure will report incorrect results for each of the tables.
The only circumvention is to split the tables into multiple PROC
SURVEYFREQ steps. For example, you would need to split:
proc surveyfreq;
tables a*(b c);
run;
into
proc surveyfreq;
tables a*b;
run;
proc surveyfreq;
tables a*c;
run;
