Strange behavior of proc REPORT

sarunas — Wed, 10 May 2006 12:50:51 GMT

Hi everyone,
I have met a strange problem and I have no idea how to solve it. If someone could help me I'd appreciate it very much :

I created a SAS Stored process with Enerprise Guide, that is actualy just a proc REPORT. In this proc REPORT I define one report item as COMPUTED. I compute it according to values of preceding report items that are taken from SAS dataset.

Strange thing is that when I launch this stored process in the Enterprise Guide, everything work fine, but when I try to run this Stored process in SAS Delivery Portal 2, all values for COMUPTED report item are missing.

Is it possible somehow to solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Sarunas:
Did you turn on the display of your SAS log in the Information Delivery Portal (IDP) to check for errors? It should be a check box before you hit the Execute button in the Portal.
I tested the following stored process in both EG and the IDP -- and it worked OK. It is a simple example but the value of gpct is based on variables from the SAS dataset.
Try this code as a stored process in both EG and the IDP. It does not have any parameters and can be registered to generate streaming output.
Also, this topic probably falls outside the realm of ODS -- as I believe your problem is not really a PROC REPORT issue nor an ODS issue. Can you email me directly and if I can't figure out what the issue is, I can get you in touch with someone who can. (email to Cynthia.Zender@sas.com)
Here's the code. Test it out and email me directly.
Thanks, cynthia
