Time format in PROC MEANS

blackraven — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:50:19 GMT

I have SAS time values formatted with time., which displays fine in e.g. PROC FREQ.

However, when running PROC MEANS, the print output does not consider the format statement.

As the layout of the PROC MEANS is very nice, I would like to have this kind of printout, but with time formatting. Can this be done in any way?

Use the OUTPUT statement to store the results, then PROC PRINT with whatever format you want.

Hi:
In addition to Paige's suggestion, you could bypass PROC MEANS and use either PROC TABULATE or PROC REPORT to create the output directly. They will both calculate the same statistics as PROC MEANS.
