Is there a procedure in SAS that calculates the CV for categorical data?

I mean code for SAS calculating CV

Please explain what you are looking for with a short example.  Off the top of my head, I don't think a CV is meaningful for a categorical variable.  It is for various categories that comprise a continuous variable.
