newbie! need help making 3 subset data tables with titles but titles aren't shown correctly

[user1942]

Hello experts! I am trying to create 3 different data tables and sort them all by the different levels of smoking, with the respective titles being Smoking = Heavy Smoker, Smoking = Occasionally, and Smoking = Never. I need this to be in html output, sorted in descending order by patient, and also sorted by the different levels of smoking. When trying to write the titles, SAS seems to ignore these. Please help!

Here is my code:

data exercise1;
input Patient Weight Height Age BMI Smoking $ Asthma $;
cards;
14 167 70 65 23.9593878 never no
9 . 74 64 . never yes
4 165 65 25 27.4544379 occasionally no
2 152 67 60 23.8039652 heavy_smoker yes
13 161 70 77 23.0985714 occasionally yes
1 143 64 55 24.5432129 occasionally no
7 148 71 61 20.6395556 occasionally yes
11 281 69 45 41.4919135 heavy_smoker yes
5 220 70 58 31.5632653 occasionally no
6 182 64 26 31.2368164 never no
8 190 66 74 30.6634527 occasionally yes
12 . . 39 . occasionally yes
3 190 69 63 28.0550305 never no
15 148 67 53 23.1775451 never yes
10 152 65 61 25.2913609 never yes

I attached a picture of the result window

By-group processing allows you to create a table per by group. Proc Report will then write a "title" per by-group on top of the table.

data exercise1;
  input Patient Weight Height Age BMI Smoking $ Asthma $;
  cards;
14 167 70 65 23.9593878 never no
9 . 74 64 . never yes
4 165 65 25 27.4544379 occasionally no
2 152 67 60 23.8039652 heavy_smoker yes
13 161 70 77 23.0985714 occasionally yes
1 143 64 55 24.5432129 occasionally no
7 148 71 61 20.6395556 occasionally yes
11 281 69 45 41.4919135 heavy_smoker yes
5 220 70 58 31.5632653 occasionally no
6 182 64 26 31.2368164 never no
8 190 66 74 30.6634527 occasionally yes
12 . . 39 . occasionally yes
3 190 69 63 28.0550305 never no
15 148 67 53 23.1775451 never yes
10 152 65 61 25.2913609 never yes

proc sort data=exercise1;
  by smoking Patient;
run;

ods _all_ close;
ods html5 body="%sysfunc(pathname(work))/excercise.htm";
title1 'Exercise 1';
proc report data=WORK.EXERCISE1 nowd;
  by Smoking;
  column Patient Asthma age bmi;
  define Patient /order=data;
quit;
title;
ods html5 close;
ods listing;

For the HTML output:

Eventually replace %sysfunc(pathname(work)) with the path where you want to store the HTML output.

This path needs to be accessible from where your SAS process executes (=NOT your local PC but the SAS Server; your local paths would only work if you've got SAS installed locally on your PC/Laptop).

I need to make this table.  The variables are listed on the left.  I have done a proc freq, proc univariate, ttest, etc.  But I can't get them into a table like this.  Any help is appreciated.
