PROC SURVEYFREQ

Can PROC SURVEYFREQ be used to conduct a McNemar's test? If not, can PROC SURVEYMEANS be used test whether the difference in the proportions is 0 (i.e., compute a difference score and get the T and PROBT stats)? If so, are there any references for such an analysis?

Since McNemar's test doesn't apparenlty use variance in calculations do you need SurveryFreq? Proc Freq will do one.

I'll support @ballardw's suggestion. Here is an example from a survey, that uses PROC FREQ:

That isn't to say that there aren't complex survey methods for McNemar tests out there (google is your friend for this)--it's just that from the info given, PROC FREQ seems adequate.
