Problem Note 1819: PROC REPORT output dataset may contain duplicate observations when using
FLOW and OUT= options
The output data set from PROC REPORT may contain duplicate observations
when the FLOW option is used on the DEFINE statement for a long
character variable and the OUT= option is specified on the PROC REPORT
statement. Modification to code, such as adjusting LINESIZE, may alter
which observations are duplicated in the output data set.
The only workaround is to invoke PROC REPORT multiple times, once to
produce the output report using the FLOW option and a separate
invocation to produce the output data set without the FLOW option.
This problem was also reported in version 6.
