PROC REPORT - LINE Statement with Multiple Items

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a demographics table for a study. After some data manipulation, I obtained a data set like this. Please note that the p-values are fictive.

Using PROC REPORT with COMPUTE block and LINE statement, I can create a header line for each variable.

/* Create data set DemoPatients */
data DemoPatients;
	input SubID ID Variable $ Label $ strat_1 strat_2 total pvalue;
	label Variable = "Parameter"
          strat_1 = "A|(N = 187)"
          strat_2 = "B|(N = 187)"
          total = "Total|(N = 374)"
          pvalue = "p-value";
datalines;
1	1	Gender		F	109		117		226		0.0001
2	1	Gender		M	78		70		148		0.0001
3	2	Race		5	49		30		79		0.0254
4	2	Race		6	138		157		295		0.0254
5	3	Complete	0	5		3		8		0.0005
6	3	Complete	1	182		184		366		0.0005
;
run;

/* Output */
ods escapechar="^";
options nodate nonumber orientation=portrait;
ods rtf file="C:\Demographics and Baseline Characteristics of Patients %sysfunc(date(),yymmdd10.).doc" style=MyStyle bodytitle;

/* Apple Header, Line, and Column Styles in PROC REPORT Statement */
proc report data=DemoPatients nowd center split="|"
	/*style(report)=[cellpadding=0.5pt]*/
	style(header)=[just=c font_weight=bold asis=on]
	style(lines)=[just=l]
	style(column)=[just=l cellwidth=1in];

/* Add Bottom Cell Borders and Create A Spanning Header */
	columns id variable subid label 
            ("^{style [borderbottomwidth=1pt] Treatment}" strat_1-strat_2) total;

/* Use ORDER ORDER=INTERNAL NOPRINT to Order Rows and Suppress Printing */
/* For Ordering, the variables must be left-most in the COLUMNS statement */
	define id / order order=internal noprint;
	define variable / order noprint;
	define subid / order order=internal noprint;
	define label / "Parameter" order order=data 
				   style(header)=[just=l indent=0in]
				   style(column)=[just=l cellwidth=3in indent=0.25in];

/* Create Row Headers via COMPUTE Block LINE Statements */
	compute before variable / style={color=black backgroundcolor=white};
		line " ";
		line variable $200.; 
	endcomp;
run;

ods rtf close;
title;
footnote;

Here is the result from the SAS code above:

Now I've wanted to add a column named "p-value" to right side of this table using the same syntax but no luck so far. This is what I want to produce with the p-value aligns with the variable's name.

I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

You say "same syntax" but don't say which same syntax.

Show exactly what you tried.

What I meant was the same way COMPUTE block generated the header for each variable's name.

...
columns id variable subid label 
            ("^{style [borderbottomwidth=1pt] Treatment}" strat_1-strat_2) total
            pvalue;

...
define pvalue / order noprint;

/* Create Row Headers via COMPUTE Block LINE Statements */
	compute before variable / style={color=black backgroundcolor=white};
		line " ";
		line variable $200. pvalue pvalue6.4; 
	endcomp;

Updated the first post with a dummy data set.
