If you stack multiple statistics with associated aliases under an
analysis variable or variables (similar to an ACROSS variable) and there
is a COMPUTED variable to the right of the statistics, the output will
be incorrect. In particular, the reported statistics will be equal to
the first stated statistic value.  For example:

    COL analysis,(statistic1=alias1...statisticN=aliasN) computed;
OR
    COL analysis,statistic1=alias1 analysisN,statisticN=aliasN computed;

There are 2 possible workarounds.

1) State the analysis variable and the alias separately on the COLUMN
   statement and then use the DEFINE statement to specify the statistic.

   For example:  COLUMN analysis1=a1 analysisN=aN computed;
                 Define a1 / statistic;
                 Define aN / statistic;

2) Use the NOALIAS option on the PROC REPORT statement. NOTE: if the
   NOALIAS option is used then any reference to the alias in a COMPUTE
   block will need to use analysis.statistic form (not the alias name).
