LINE Statement
Provides a subset of the features of the PUT statement
for writing customized summaries.
| Restrictions: | This statement is valid only in a compute block that
is associated with a location in the report.
You cannot use the LINE statement in conditional statements (IF-THEN, IF-THEN/ELSE, and SELECT) because it is not executed until PROC REPORT has executed all other statements in the compute block. |

Syntax
LINE specification(s);
Required Argument
- specification(s)
-
can have one of the following forms. You can mix different forms of specifications in one LINE statement.
- item item-format
-
specifies the item to display and the format to use to display it, where
- item
-
is the name of a data set variable, a computed variable, or a statistic in the report. For information about referencing report items, see Four Ways to Reference Report Items in a Compute Block.
Example:Ordering the Rows in a Report
- 'character-string '
-
specifies a string of text to display. When the string is a blank and nothing else is in specification(s), PROC REPORT prints a blank line.Note: A hexadecimal value (such as
'DF'x) that is specified within character-string will not resolve because it is specified within quotation marks. To resolve a hexadecimal value, use the%sysfunc(byte(num))function, wherenumis the hexadecimal value. Be sure to enclose character-string in double quotation marks (" ") so that the macro function will resolve.Example:Ordering the Rows in a Report
- number-of-repetitions*'character-string '
-
specifies a character string and the number of times to repeat it.
- pointer-control
-
specifies the column in which PROC REPORT displays the next specification. You can use either of the following forms for pointer controls:
- @column-number
-
specifies the number of the column in which to begin displaying the next item in the specification list.
- +column-increment
-
specifies the number of columns to skip before beginning to display the next item in the specification list.
Restriction:The pointer controls are designed for monospace output. They have no effect in the HTML, RTF, or Printer output.
