Serial Number for proc print

kishore415 — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:29:18 GMT

Hi All,

Is there any option in proc print to print the serial number instead of observation number..?

for example : proc print with obs option is resulting in below output..

Obs Name Sex Age Height Weight

1 Alfred M 14 69.0 112.5

5 Henry M 14 63.5 102.5

6 James M 12 57.3 83.0

9 Jeffrey M 13 62.5 84.0

but I want it to print

Obs Name Sex Age Height Weight

1 Alfred M 14 69.0 112.5

2 Henry M 14 63.5 102.5

3 James M 12 57.3 83.0

4 Jeffrey M 13 62.5 84.0

Thanks in advance..

Will this work?

data class /view=class;

set sashelp.class;

run;

proc print data=class;

where name in ('Alfred' 'Henry' 'James' 'Jeffrey');

run;

Can create a Variable sno=_n_ and then print the report with noobs option.

As far as I know there is not such a option. You need to make a variable to display this information.
