Ho Can I Write a Variable Value to SAS log From Proc Report

[eg_michael]

For debugging purposes is there a way I can write a variable (column) value to the log in a PROC REPORT?

You can output data on the proc report statement with for example, "out = my_rpt_data" and then just use a data _null_; with put statements to write variable values to the log.

This does what I think you are asking.  Why prints out twice I don't know.

proc report data=sashelp.class nowd;
   columns _all_;
   define _all_ / display;
   compute name;
      i + 1;
      call execute(cat('%put NOTE: ',name,' ',i,';'));
      endcomp;
   run;
