When I run your code, I see the slash in the PROC REPORT output.

Please show us a screen capture of what you are seeing. Please use the "Insert Photos" icon to include your screen capture in your reply. Do NOT attach files. Also, what SAS interface are you using (Base SAS, Enterprise Guide, SAS Studio, other) and what output destination are you using?

Tell PROC REPORT to use a different character as the SPLIT character.

data three;
	infile datalines;
	input a $ b  x $ y $ z $ m $;
return;
datalines;
A/A 21 22 23 24 25
AB 26 27 28 29 30
;

proc report data=three split='|';
  column  a,(b );
  define a / across;
run;

Hi:

  Another character specification that can cause this behavior is ODS ESCAPECHAR, as shown below in #1 example:

As shown in the #2 report, with ODS ESCAPECHAR set to a different character, the slash in the data shows.

  Interestingly, when I have SPLIT='/' I do see the A/A in the data cell:

  Running SAS 9.4M7.

To have PROC REPORT recognize split char in DATA (as opposed to HEADERS) you have to 

1. Define the column to use the FLOW option.
2. Direct the output to the LISTING destination instead of ODS.

Hi, @Tom:
That's correct; however the original posting showed HTML output not LISTING, and the code showed no change to the SPLIT= option, so the default was in effect. I haven't had a chance to test the original code in EG yet, but I suspect it won't make a difference.
Thanks for the clarification.

Solution:

data three;
   infile datalines;
   input a $ b $ x $ y $ z $ m $;
datalines;
A/A 21 22 23 24 25
AB 26 27 28 29 30
;
run;

proc report data=three nowd;
   column a b x y z m;
run;
