COMPUTED variable contains incorrect values in output data set


If you create an output data set with PROC REPORT from the REPORT windowusing the Save==>Report Data pulldown command, and your report contains a COMPUTED column, the values of the COMPUTED variable may be incorrect in the output data set. This problem appears to occur when the COMPUTEDcolumn is calculated using a DATA step variable to accumulate values over multiple report records.

To circumvent this problem, store the report definition in a catalog entry, exit the REPORT window, then reinvoke PROC REPORT with the NOWD, REPORT=, and OUT= options to load the stored report and create the output data set.
