Hi

When I make crosstabs by using Proc Freq, I get the following output:

How can I left-align the row values? (ie. Z038/39 and Z048)

I'm using SAS EG 5.1 32 bit.

Hope someone can help.

Thank you.

How about this one :

data class;
 set sashelp.class;
 length _sex $ 40;
 _sex=catx(' ','~S={just=l}',sex);
run;



ods listing close;
ods pdf file='c:\temp\x.pdf';
ods escapechar='~';
proc freq data=class ;
table _sex*age/norow nocol nopercent nocum ;
run;
ods pdf close;
ods listing;

Or slight modification:

proc format library=work;
value $sextemp
'F' = '~S={just=L}F'
'M' = '~S={just=L}M'
;
run;
quit;

ods escapechar='~';
proc freq data=class ;
table sex*age/norow nocol nopercent nocum ;
format sex $sextemp.;
run;
