dear all

i would like to make a statistic by using following codes

proc univariate data=Step6.Number_of_patent_us_end;
var col1-col91440;
output=Step6.patent_us mean=mean max=max min=min std=std;
run;

but the result shows that,

16   proc univariate data=Step6.Number_of_patent_us_end;
17   var col1-col91440;
18   output=Step6.patent_us mean=mean max=max min=min std=std;
     ------
     180
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

19   run;

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE UNIVARIATE used (Total process time):
      real time           0.09 seconds
      cpu time            0.10 seconds

could you please give me some suggestion?

thanks in advance.

you are missing output out like

proc univariate data=sashelp.class;
var weight height;
output out=want mean=mean max=max min=min std=std;
run;

dear novinosrin,

how could i set the weight and height? could you give me an example ?

Since you didn't give us a sample. I used sas provided dataset sashelp.class for the illustration. The dataset sashelp.class contains variables height and weight. Please replicate the code for your dataset and the numeric variables for which you want to compute statistics

or in other words try the below corrected code of yours

proc univariate data=Step6.Number_of_patent_us_end;
var col1-col91440;
output out=Step6.patent_us mean=mean max=max min=min std=std;
run;

proc univariate data=sashelp.class outtable=want noprint;
var _numeric_;
run;
