SAS Proc print how to remove labels/ force variable into position

IanW — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 19:58:19 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to remove the variable labels and force them into specific positions ie "put intv @1" volume @12.etc..

proc print data=recpsum noobs;
var sdate intv class object volume over mean max;

format intv time8.0;
format volume 8.0;
format over 8.0;
format mean 8.4;

format max 8.4;

Thanks,

Ian

Why don't you just use a DATA step instead of PROC PRINT? In a data step, you can use command like this placing specific text into specific columns.

Thank You,

I just changed to code.

data stufft (keep=sdate intv
volume);
file test1 noprint notitle;
set recpsum;
put @1 sdate yymmdd10.
@14 intv time8.0
@26 volume $3.
;

This worked perfectly.

I am fairly new to SAS did not know we could print outputs though a data step.

Thanks again!
