Define the group variables. In this report, Sector and Manager are group variables. Each detail row of the report consolidates the information for all observations with the same values of the group variables. FORMAT= specifies the formats to use in the report. Text in quotation marks in the DEFINE statements specifies column headings. These statements illustrate two ways to write a blank line in a column heading. 'Sector' '' writes a blank line because each quoted string is a line of the column heading. The two adjacent quotation marks write a blank line for the second line of the heading. 'Manager* ' writes a blank line because the split character (*) starts a new line of the heading. That line contains only a blank.

   define sector / group format=$sctrfmt. 'Sector' '';
   define manager / group format=$mgrfmt. 'Manager* ';
