Proc Report Question with GROUPS

[aravind]

hi there,

I have the following sample dataset.

Age ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
------------------------------------------------------------------
10 100 FNAME1 LNAME1
10 200 FNAME2 LNAME2
10 300 FNAME3 LNAME3
20 400 FNAME4 LNAME4
20 500 FNAME5 LNAME5
------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to create the following report.


REPORT TITLE

AGE: 10

ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
--------------------------------------------------------------
100 FNAME1 LNAME1
200 FNAME2 LNAME2
300 FNAME3 LNAME3

TOTAL NUMBER OF IDS: 3

AGE: 20

ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
---------------------------------------------------------
400 FNAME1 LNAME1
500 FNAME2 LNAME2

TOTAL NUMBER OF IDS: 2

GRAND TOTAL NUMBER OF IDS: 5

---------END OF REPORT--------

I've got the solution in data null in ODS PDF Destination but i am
trying to do it in PROC REPORT using PDF Destination.
I want to know whether we can do this kinda report in Proc report or not.
IF yes i would like to see how we can do it.

Help will be Appreciated.

Thanks
Aravind

Hi:
This previous posting:

still has good information to answer your question. What you want to do is possible with PROC REPORT. There are techniques in this paper also,
http://support.sas.com/rnd/papers/sgf07/sgf2007-report.pdf (original paper)
http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings11/246-2011.pdf (updated for 9.2)

that show how to write customized break lines -- you will either use a LINE statement or you will create an "extra" breaking variable to do it.
