Problem Note 7456: #BYVAL used in a TITLE statement in conjunction with PROC PRINT output displays an incorrect value
 |  |  |  |
If the BYLINE system option is in effect and #BYVAL is used in a TITLE statement in conjunction with PROC PRINT, output routed to the Listing destination will contain an incorrect title for each page. The sequence is off by one, meaning that the TITLE on the first page displays the second value of the BY variable, and so on. On the last page, the text "#byval(byvar)" is displayed.
The following code replicates the problem:
proc sort data=sashelp.class ;
by sex ;
run;
title1 'List of sashelp.class by sex';
title2 'for #byval(sex)';
proc print data=sashelp.class noobs ;
by sex ;
run;
by sex ;
run;
title1 'List of sashelp.class by sex';
title2 'for #byval(sex)';
proc print data=sashelp.class noobs ;
by sex ;
run;
To circumvent the problem for the Listing destination, use the NOBYLINE system option. For similar issues related to other ODS destinations, see SAS Note 1740.
