I have 1 script that produces results with multiple freq procedures and one print procedures. I then use the report wizard to create a report from the script. However, all that I see as report items that can be arranged from the script is 1 item for all freq procedures and 1 item for the print procedure - i.e. 1 item per procedure type.
How can I define each procedure run as a separate report item that will then be visible in the report wizard and could be arranged individually?
Hello,
I am using SAS EG, the script is a single program file, the Report is a custom report created from the EG wizard which is linked to the script output.
There is nothing special with the procedures except that some of them are from the same type and it seems that the way in which the Report wizard is accessing the output of the script is by grouping procedure types.
I am looking for a way to have each procedure output identified individually from the wizard and not in groups.
Regards
Hi:
I'm not sure what you're encountering. When I do this in EG -- and make a project with 3 PROC FREQ steps (each one uses SASHELP.BASEBALL) and a PROC PRINT step, I see 4 distinct objects in the Report Wizard:
You might want to open a track with Tech Support, they could look at your code and your data and help you specifically with your issue.

Thank you for the detailed reply. However, the problem arises when the procedures are ran from the same program and the report is based on the program. As can be seen in the images below:
Hi:
I do observe the behavior you report -- in one program -- all the PROC FREQ output is contained in one object. I don't know why this happens. That would be a question for Tech Support.
However, the way around it is to make a separate program for every step, as shown here:
Each program icon is one procedure -- 3 PROC FREQs and 1 PROC PRINT. Each separate program icon becomes an object that I can use in the Report Layout Wizard.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have many such cases in which there are Programs with many procedures, that's one of their main benefits to organize code together.
What would be the most effective way of contacting tech support. Do I have to go trough the corporate license and respective SAS manager or it could be done through the forum or with email?
