drawing histogram using PROC UNIVARIATE

SAS_AMUH — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 09:22:18 GMT

I am using a very simple programming code to draw a histogram.

The following code did work to produce a histogram on SAS output screen.

PROC UNIVARIATE DATA = data_new1;
histogram age/midpoints=(0 to 20 by 1); run;

But for some reasons, when I repeated the same code for a similar dataset, it produced a series of statistics (sample moments, basic measures of location and variability etc.) for all the variables in data_new1, when I only chose one variable 'age' in the above code.

How do I stop it from producing a series of statistics as I ONLY NEED A HISTOGRAM to be produced on SAS output screen?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi @SAS_AMUH

The 'noprint' option suppresses all the tables of descriptive statistics that the PROC UNIVARIATE statement creates.

PROC UNIVARIATE DATA=data_new1 noprint;
	histogram age/midpoints=(0 to 20 by 1);
run;

Best,
