ODS proc report problem trying to compute group sum varibles

Below is a the potions of the log showing my error IQCURQTY AND IQQTYPLC has 0's in the data....but

I want to get the percentage on the sums of IQCURQTY AND IQQTYPLC.  How do I define it and and compute it for TT

+  by descending percent_done ccontid;

755       +  *****format cndtlet worddate18.*******;

756       +   column gitem IQCURQTY IQQTYPLC TT;

757       +  define gitem / group 'Item';

758       +  define IQCURQTY / 'Quantity';

759       +  define IQQTYPLC /  ' Quantity Place';

760       +  define TT / computed format=9.2;

761       +

762       +Compute  TT;

763       +                TT =IQQTYPLC_sum/IQCURQTY_sum;

764       +

765       +

766       +endcomp;

767       +  run;

Hi:

  PROC REPORT is telling you part of the problem with this message:

NOTE: Variable IQCURQTY_sum is uninitialized.

NOTE: Variable IQQTYPLC_sum is uninitialized.

  Why do you have IQQTYPLC_sum??? That is not the correct way to reference a numeric item that has a usage of SUM. Instead of this:

TT =IQQTYPLC_sum/IQCURQTY_sum;

the correct syntax would be something like:

TT =IQQTYPLC.sum/IQCURQTY.sum;

  I'd suggest reading the PROC REPORT documentation on how to use a compound name to reference numeric report items:

Base SAS(R) 9.4 Procedures Guide, Second Edition

where the documentation clearly explains that a compound name is:

variable-name.statistic

Cynthia,

Thanks for the Link to the Procedures Guide.  I'll start reading it.  I had a ODS class years ago and I have two books one on ODS and the other on reports.

One of them was showing me (dot)sum but not like I was trying to use it.  So as you indicated I was not sure what NOTE: Variable IQCURQTY_sum is uninitialized.

was meaning.  I should have tried and google the note.

Thanks also for the syntax was looking for.
