Superscript will not generate in code

I am trying to do a print a table but the superscript will not work for one of the variables

option missing='0' nodate nonumber orientation=landscape ;
ods escapechar="~";

data ALL;
set ALL;
length outcome $61.
if variablenames eq 'stall' then outcome='The Number of Reported Cases (%)';
if variablenames eq 'caseassign_per' then outcome='The Number of Cases Assigned for an Investigation (%)';

if variablenames eq 'passigned_per' then outcome='Partners assigned (%)';

if variablenames eq 'test_30_per' then outcome='Testing Among OPs (%)';
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_REFERAL_active' then outcome='The Number of Cases Active Referral (%)';
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_REFERAL_passive' then outcome='The Number of Cases Passive Referral (%)';
if variablenames eq 'part_HIV_test_per' then outcome='The Number of Partners Tested for HIV (%)';
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_Active_REFPart' then outcome= 'The Number of Partners Active Referral (%)';
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_passive_REFPart' then outcome='The Number of Partners Passive Referral (%)';

***;

if variablenames eq 'stdall' then count=1;
if variablenames eq 'caseassign_per' then count=2;

if variablenames eq 'passigned_per' then count=3;
if variablenames eq 'test_30_per' then count=4;
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_REFERAL_active' then count=5;
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_REFERAL_passive' then count=6;
if variablenames eq 'part_test_per' then count=7;
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_Active_REFPart' then count=8;
if variablenames eq 'NONMISSING_passive_REFPart' then count=9;

if outcome='The Number of Cases Assigned for an Investigation (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 2}');
if outcome='Testing Among OPs (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 3}');
if outcome='The Number of Cases Active Referral (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 4}');
if outcome='The Number of Cases Passive Referral %)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 4}');

if outcome='Partners assigned (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 5}');
if outcome='Partners assigned (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 5}');
if outcome='The Number of Partners Tested(%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 3}');
if outcome='The Number of Partners Passive Referral (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 4}');
if outcome='The Number of Partners Active Referral (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 4}');

run;

PROC SORT DATA=ALL2;
BY descending pop diagnosis COUNT;
RUN;

proc print data= ALL2 noobs; run;

Instead of this

I get this

Well, that sure looks like it should work. Maybe it's a SAS bug. I'm not sure.

You could try changing this

if outcome='The Number of Partners Passive Referral (%)' then outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 4}');

to the below just to see if we can find a work-around

if outcome='The Number of Partners Passive Referral (%)' then outcome=cat(outcome,' ','~{super 4}',' ');

I'm just changing from CATX to CAT and padding a space on the end. It's basically just a shot in the dark.

You are not defining your variable long enough for the strings you trying to store in it.

332   data test;
333     length outcome $100;
334     outcome='The Number of Cases Assigned for an Investigation (%)' ;
335     outcome=catx(' ',outcome,'~{super 2}');
336     len=length(outcome);
337     put (_all_) (=/);
338
339
340   run;


outcome=The Number of Cases Assigned for an Investigation (%) ~{super 2}
len=64
