The REPORT Procedure 4 Program 987
Specify the report options. The NOWD option runs PROC REPORT without the REPORT
window and sends its output to the open output destination(s). NOHEADER in the PROC
REPORT statement suppresses the default column headings.
proc report data=grocery nowd
headline headskip;
Specify the title.
title ’Sales for Individual Stores’;
Specify the report columns. The report contains a column for Sector, Manager, Department,
Sales, and Profit, but the NOPRINT option suppresses the printing of the columns for Sector and
Manager. The page heading (created later in the program) includes their values. To get these
variable values into the page heading, Sector and Manager must be in the COLUMN statement.
column sector manager department sales Profit;
Define the group, computed, and analysis variables. In this report, Sector, Manager, and
Department are group variables. Each detail row of the report consolidates the information for
all observations with the same values of the group variables. Profit is a computed variable
whose values are calculated in the next section of the program. FORMAT= specifies the formats
to use in the report.
define sector / group noprint;
define manager / group noprint;
define profit / computed format=dollar11.2;
define sales / analysis sum format=dollar11.2;
define department / group format=$deptfmt.;
Calculate the computed variable. Profit is computed as a percentage of Sales. For
nonperishable items, the profit is 40% of the sale price. For perishable items the profit is 25%.
Notice that in the compute block you must reference the variable Sales with a compound name
(Sales.sum) that identifies both the variable and the statistic that you calculate with it.
compute profit;
if department=’np1’ or department=’np2’
then profit=0.4*sales.sum;
else profit=0.25*sales.sum;
endcomp;
Create a customized page header. This compute block executes at the top of each page, after
PROC REPORT writes the title. It writes the page heading for the current manager’s store. The
LEFT option left-justifies the text in the LINE statements. Each LINE statement writes the
text in quotation marks just as it appears in the statement. The first two LINE statements
write a variable value with the format specified immediately after the variable’s name.
