I am struggling to understand an issue about an uninitialized value in a variable that I use in a COMPUTE block that does not have a missing value. I have used this approach before. I got the hint on this board from Cynthia Zender. If I change to a character version, no issue are reported and the report is formatted as intended.

As you can see, the data step does not report a missing value. The second REPORT procedure, a copy of the first with LEVEL replaced by LEVELC, runs without issues.
Does anyone see what I am overlooking?
Thank you,
