below example how to get only first row in output
proc freq data=sashelp.class; tables age;run;
need only highlited in output window instead of getting all
PROC FREQ prints the whole table (or alternatively, none of the table). But you can work around that if you find a slightly different report format satisfactory:
proc freq data=have;
tables age / noprint out=counts;
run;
proc print data=counts (obs=1);
run;
Another way:
proc freq data=sashelp.class noprint;
tables age / out=counts;
run;
proc sql;
create table firstCount as
select * from counts
having age=min(age);
select * from firstCount;
quit;
