Problem Note 2684: PROC MEANS/SUMMARY and NOBYLINE cause incorrect paging and headings for
BY groups
PROC MEANS/SUMMARY with a BY statement and the NOBYLINE system option in
effect produces incorrect output. New BY groups do not force a page
eject causing multiple BY groups to appear on one page. When a page is
full based on the PAGESIZE system option, a page eject will occur and
the first BY group on the new page will determine the information
displayed by the #BYVAL specification.
Correct output would require that each BY group appear on a separate
page and use of #BYVAL in TITLEs and/or FOOTNOTEs should result in
output specific to the data in the BY group.
To circumvent the problem, do not use the NOBYLINE system option or
#BYVAL in conjunction with MEANS/SUMMARY.
