Age adjusted rates in SAS using exact poisson

Hi. I have a task that is likely pretty easy to do but I am newish to sas so dont exactly know how to approach it.

I have counts for a number of cases for a condition in a few age groups for a type of health care setting (variable names= count_agegrp1_HC1, count_agegrp2_HC1, count_agegrp3_HC1, count_agegrp4_HC1). I have the population size served for each age group in the specific health care setting (agegrp1_HC1, agegrp2_HC1, agegrp3_HC1, agegrp4_HC1) the total population size served for the health care setting (pop_HC1), and the population sizes I am trying to adjust to,including the age group break down (agegrp1_TOT, agegrp2_TOT, agegrp3_TOT, agegrp4_TOT) and the total population size (pop_TOT). My counts are fairly small and I know I need to use exact poisson to calculate the age adjusted CI for the rate. Is there a way I can get this in sas 9.4?

Thank you for any help or suggestions you may have!

Have you looked at PROC STDRATE?
