Using Startobs= and Endobs= options together in a Proc step

deleted_user — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:08:31 GMT

I am unable to use Startobs= and Endobs= options together in a Proc Print data step. Does anyone know how to use these together?

The syntax I am uisng is as follows but it doesn't work:

PROC PRINT DATA=COMB (STARTOBS=7 ENDOBS=12) ;
VAR DIST_Q SSPOS_C1 REL_C2 TotSNEG;
RUN;

Hi:
If you look in the documentation, you will find that the options are:
OBS: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/63026/HTML/default/viewer.htm#/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/63026/HTML/default/a000131154.htm
and
FIRSTOBS: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/63026/HTML/default/viewer.htm#/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/63026/HTML/default/a000131129.htm

For example, in the code below, the first observation displayed on the PROC PRINT report will be observation 5 and the last observation displayed on the report will be observation 8.

proc print data=sashelp.class(firstobs=5 obs=8);
run;
