Hello all,
Here is my proc report:-
Proc report data=final split='|" headline headlskip;
columns col1-col3;
define col1 / display "AESOC| reported term" width=60 flow;
define col2 / display "test drug | (N=&n1)" width=25;
define col3 / display "reference drug | (N=&n2)" width=25;
run;
In the column headers of my output, I see leading spaces present for the population count as follows:-
__________________________________________________________
AESOC test drug reference drug
reported term (N= 188) (N= 88)
___________________________________________________________
I have no idea why there are leading spaces.Can any suggest what might be causing the problem.
my code for populatin count is:-
proc sql noprint;
select count(distinct usubjid) into : n1 from adsl where saffl eq "Y" and trta eq "test";
select count(distinct usubjid) into : n2 from adsl where saffl eq "Y" and trta eq "Ref";
quit;
Hi, generally, you do sometimes need to strip leading spaces from a macro variable. The simplest way to do that is:
%let n1=&n1;
%let n2=&n2;
AFTER the quit in your SQL step. (There are other ways to trim the spaces, but that is the simplest that will work in all versions of SAS.)
