Hi Team,
When i run this code I get a WARNING!!!!!
Could you explain please where I went wrong???
Thanks
proc means data=grafts nway noprint;
var age;
output out=mean_grafts n= mean= std= median= min= max=;
run;
WARNING: Variable AGE already exists on file WORK.MEAN_GRAFTS.

WARNING: The duplicate variables will not be included in the output data set of the output
statement number 1.
YOur output statement is trying to assign the variable name AGE to the results of N=, and then it is trying to assign the variable name AGE to the results of MEAN=, and so on. Can't be done. You can't have multiple variables named AGE.
You need to give each of the statistics that you request in your OUTPUT statement a distinct name, or use the /autoname option.

OOPs. I used autoname this time and it worked out.
Thanks
