Output dataset

[SASPhile]

PROC MEANS DATA=final_row NWAY ;

  CLASS mco agegroup gender RiskGroup ;

/*  VAR metric ;*/

  OUTPUT OUT=final N=cnt ;

RUN;

by commenting out the var statement there is no output dataset created.But how to create an outputdataset

[Hima]

Tested on one of my data set and working fine

PROC MEANS DATA = TMP39 NWAY;
CLASS FEE;
OUTPUT OUT=FINAL N=CNT ;
RUN;

PROC PRINT DATA = WORK.FINAL;
RUN;

NOTE: There were XXXXX observations read from the data set TMP39.

NOTE: The data set WORK.FINAL has 2 observations and 4 variables.

NOTE: Compressing data set WORK.FINAL increased size by 100.00 percent.

      Compressed is 2 pages; un-compressed would require 1 pages.

NOTE: The PROCEDURE MEANS printed pages 45-56.

NOTE: PROCEDURE MEANS used (Total process time):

      real time           40.04 seconds

proc means data=sashelp.class nway noprint;

class sex age;

output out=final n= /autoname;

run;

Works for me as well. If you just want a count though, could use proc freq.

proc freq data=final_row noprint;

tables mco*agegroup*gender*RiskGroup/out=final;

run;
