define Label /group width=150 left;

define Product /group width=150 left;

WARNING: A GROUP, ORDER, or ACROSS variable is missing on every observation.

Maxim 3: Know your data.

Run proc freq on your variables to see which one has only missing values.

Hi:
In addition to @Kurt_Bremser's suggestion to run PROC FREQ, if you are expecting missing data in any GROUP or ORDER variable, you will also want to consult the PROC REPORT documentation to read about the MISSING option.

Note that you did not have an ERROR message -- you have a WARNING message -- you will not receive any output until you correctly add the MISSING option to your code.

In addition, options like HEADLINE, HEADSKIP and WIDTH are LISTING only options and are ignored by ODS HTML and other ODS destinations.
