The REPORT Procedure

REPORT

Is the surface on which the report appears.

Use WINDOWS or PROMPT in the PROC REPORT statement.

You cannot write directly in any part of the REPORT window except column headings. To change other aspects of the report, you select a report item (for example, a column heading) as the target of the next command and issue the command. To select an item, use a mouse or cursor keys to position the cursor over it. Then click the mouse button or press ENTER. To execute a command, make a selection from the menu bar at the top of the REPORT window. PROC REPORT displays the effect of a command immediately unless the DEFER option is on.

Note: Issuing the END command in the REPORT window returns you to the previous report definition with the current data. If there is no previous report definition, then END closes the REPORT window. [cautionend]

Note: In the REPORT window, there is no Save As option from the File menu to save your report to a file. Instead:

From the Report window, select Save Data Set. In the dialog box, enter a SAS library and filename in which to save this data set.
From the program editor window, execute a PROC PRINT.
In the File menu, select Save As to save the generated output to a file.
