proc freq - increasing the number of characters being printed (displayed)

veblen — Thu, 05 May 2011 18:21:16 GMT

Is there a way to increase the number of characters printing (displayed) for a PRO FREQ table?

It appears that the column width is defined by the number of characters in "frequency."

My labels are over the 9-spaces provided and I want all of the VAR labels to be printed.

Thanks.

Hello Veblen,

You can output a frequency table into a dataset and then print it with any desired format:
[pre]
proc freq data=sashelp.class noprint;
tables age /out=freq;
run;
[/pre]
Sincerely,
SPR

Unfortunately, the table produced via the data step still have the truncated variable labels.

Any more ideas?

Could you please give an example of your data. I printed freq from my code:
[pre]
proc print data=freq label;
var Count;
run;
[/pre]
Variable Count has label "Frequency Count" and it is printed without truncation.
