Details

When VAR Is Not Used

If you do not use a VAR statement, then the procedure displays all variables in the activities data set in the order in which they occur in the data set, except for the BY, CALID, START, DUR, and FIN variables. However, not all variables are displayed if the LINESIZE= and PAGESIZE= settings do not allow enough space in the calendar.

Display of Variables

PROC CALENDAR displays variables in the order in which they appear in the VAR statement. Not all variables are displayed, however, if the LINESIZE= and PAGESIZE= settings do not allow enough space in the calendar.
PROC CALENDAR also displays any variable named in a SUM or MEAN statement for each activity in the calendar output. It displays the variable even if you do not name that variable in a VAR statement.
