Does anyone know of a way to suppress the missing value indicators for numeric variables in PROC REPORT output?
Hi:
Do you mean the . dot or period for missing values. Try one of the the following option statements before your PROC REPORT step:
options missing=' '; (quote-blank-quote will represent missing as blank in the output results)
options missing=0; (will represent the missing as a 0 in the output results)
options missing='-'; (will represent the missing as a hyphen in the output results)
options missing='!'; (will represent the missing as an exclamation point in the output results)
You get the idea. You can specify a single character which will replace the normal missing or dot in output results. After your PROC REPORT step, you will want to return your missing value to . again with this statement:
options missing=.;
