How to create a new column in Proc Report?

[EC27556]

Hi I have some code that looks like this:

proc report data=sashelp.heart split='~' nowd ;
	
	column status status2 sex sex2 bp_status bp_status2 MRW,Smoking_Status;
	
	define Smoking_Status / Across;
	define status / Group noprint;
	define sex / Group noprint;
	define bp_status / Group noprint;
	define MRW / sum '';

	define status2 / computed;
	define sex2 / computed;
	define bp_status2 / computed;

compute before bp_status;
_status=status;
_sex=sex;
_bp_status=bp_status;
endcomp;

compute status2/character length=40;
status2=_status;
endcomp;
compute sex2/character length=40;
sex2=_sex;
endcomp;
compute bp_status2/character length=40;
bp_status2=_bp_status;
endcomp;
run;

In the table, between the columns of bp_status2 and Heavy (16-25) I want a column titled "Outcomes" which just has the value of 1 for every row. This isnt a variable that exists currently on sashelp.heart but is this still possible to achieve? If so, does anyone know how?

A COMPUTED variable which is always assigned 1?

Yes, is this possible to do? I'm quite unfamiliar with proc report.

See this:

proc report data=sashelp.heart split='~' nowd ;
	
	column status status2 sex sex2 bp_status bp_status2 MRW,Smoking_Status;
	
	define Smoking_Status / Across;
	define status / Group noprint;
	define sex / Group noprint;
	define bp_status / Group noprint;
	define MRW / sum '';

	define status2 / computed;
	define sex2 / computed;
	define bp_status2 / computed;

compute before bp_status;
_status=status;
_sex=sex;
_bp_status=bp_status;
endcomp;

compute status2/character length=40;
status2=_status;
endcomp;
compute sex2/character length=40;
sex2=_sex;
endcomp;
compute bp_status2/character length=40;
bp_status2=_bp_status;
endcomp;
run;

But that doesn't answer the question!

			Smoking Status
status2	sex2	bp_status2	Heavy (16-25)	Light (1-5)	Moderate (6-15)	Non-smoker	Very Heavy (> 25)
Alive	Female	High	5927	10343	6070	56997	1105
Alive	Female	Normal	12955	17817	12365	59314	2040
Alive	Female	Optimal	6859	7945	7402	23389	1584

I still had your code in the clipboard, not my expanded code.

See now:

proc report data=sashelp.heart split='~' nowd ;
	
	column status status2 sex sex2 bp_status bp_status2 Outcomes MRW,Smoking_Status;
	
	define Smoking_Status / Across;
	define status / Group noprint;
	define sex / Group noprint;
	define Outcomes / computed;
	define bp_status / Group noprint;
	define MRW / sum '';

	define status2 / computed;
	define sex2 / computed;
	define bp_status2 / computed;

compute before bp_status;
_status=status;
_sex=sex;
_bp_status=bp_status;
endcomp;

compute Outcomes / character length=1;
  Outcomes = "1";
endcomp;

compute status2/character length=40;
status2=_status;
endcomp;
compute sex2/character length=40;
sex2=_sex;
endcomp;
compute bp_status2/character length=40;
bp_status2=_bp_status;
endcomp;
run;

It ain't pretty but is this what you mean?

proc report data=sashelp.heart split='~' nowd ;
	
	column status status2  sex sex2 bp_status bp_status2 outcomes MRW,Smoking_Status;
	
	define Smoking_Status / Across;
	define status / Group noprint;
	define sex / Group noprint;
	define bp_status / Group noprint;
	define MRW / sum '';

	define status2 / computed;
	define sex2 / computed;
	define bp_status2 / computed;
	define outcomes / computed;

compute before bp_status;
_status=status;
_sex=sex;
_bp_status=bp_status;
endcomp;

compute status2/character length=40;
status2=_status;
endcomp;
compute sex2/character length=40;
sex2=_sex;
endcomp;
compute bp_status2/character length=40;
bp_status2=_bp_status;
endcomp;

compute outcomes ;
outcomes = 1 ;
endcomp;

run;
