Problem Note 37569: PROC REPORT might produce incorrect results when using BREAK and COMPUTE AFTER statements
 |  |  |  |  |
When routing output to any ODS destination, PROC REPORT might produce incorrect results when multiple BREAK statements or multiple COMPUTE AFTER blocks that contain LINE statements are specified. The incorrect results might include:
- missing some BREAK statement data
- missing some PAGE breaks when the PAGE option is specified
- incorrect BREAK statement data
- LINE statements print out of order
The problem does not occur when only one BREAK statement is specified. The LISTING output is correct.
