PROC REPORT writes incorrect COMPUTED values to output data set


If you create a COMPUTED column in a PROC REPORT step that also creates an output data set, then some of the values for the COMPUTED variable may be incorrect in the output data set. Specifically, if you have a COMPUTE block at a BREAK that contains a calculation for the COMPUTED variable that is different from its detail COMPUTE block computation, then the value for the BREAK line in the output data set will be based on the detail calculation, not the BREAK calculation.

The values for the COMPUTED variable are correct in the printed report.
