How to output histogram database

Yes, it works. By the way, do you know how to get the dataset only without printing the histogram and all the other tables under OUTPUT window? I tried "noprint", but it seems like nothing changed. Thank you, Rick!

Use NOPRINT to suppress the tables and use NOPLOT on the HISTOGRAM statement:

proc univariate data=sashelp.cars noprint;
var mpg_city;
histogram mpg_city / midpoints=(5 to 65 by 10) noplot outhist=want;
run;

Yes. Also I used "ods select none;" instead of "noprint", and it suppressed all the displays, too. Thank you!

The difference is efficiency: When you use ODS SELECT NONE, the procedure computes everything and sends it to ODS, which then does not display it. When you use NOPRINT and NOPLOT, the procedure computes only the statistics that are needed for the output data sets.

I got it! Then I will choose to use NOPRINT and NOPLOT. 🙂 Thanks!
