ods output onewayfreqs=onefreq (drop=f_name f_sex);
proc freq data=sashelp.class;
tables name sex;
run;
ods output close;
here i've run the program ...
log shown like this..
WARNING: The variable f_sex in the DROP, KEEP, or RENAME list has never been referenced
in that onefreq dataset i don't need f_name, f_sex variables so that i used code like this...
tell me the way to avoid this warning..
You could avoid the warning by dropping the variables in a subsequent data step.
FREQ is making the first data set based on the first tabled variable.
Then it makes the second data set based on the second tabled variable.
At this phase it reconciles the different variables in the first and send data sets and combines them into one.
At the first step, it does not know about the second part, so you get a warning.
in this warning it mentioned f_sex only but i've given f_name and f_sex in drop option...
sas didn't considered f_name varaiable here?
but ouput dataset doesn't contains both of the variables..
