SAS Procedures
FORMAT procedure
A user-defined format or informat that defines a missing value supersedes a value
that is specified by the MISSING system option.
FREQ procedure
Frequency plots and cumulative frequency plots are no longer produced by default
when ODS Graphics is enabled. You can request these plots with the
PLOTS=FREQPLOT and PLOTS=CUMFREQPLOT options in the TABLES
statement.
PRINT procedure
Here are some important changes to SAS 9.3:
n Each BY group is a separate table, and the observation count is reset to zero at
the beginning of each BY group.
n For the LISTING destination, if HEADING=V, the variable name is used in place
of a label if the column heading is too long for the page.
n ROWS= is valid only for the LISTING destination.
