Hello,

There might be possibilities in the stat procedure itself, but if you want to do it (centering) beforehand, submit below code and check if that is what you want :

proc stdize data=sashelp.class method=mean out=work.abc_xyz;
 var _NUMERIC_;
run;

proc means data=work.abc_xyz;
 var _NUMERIC_;
run;
/* end of program */
