Hi:   ODS NOPROCTITLE will only get rid of the procedure title "The MEANS Procedure". It will NOT get rid of the 2nd line: Analysis Variable : Sales, which was also mentioned.   The only way to get rid of the 2nd string is to alter the table template used by PROC MEANS. However, for calculating basic statistics, either PROC TABULATE or PROC REPORT would generate the same report without the "extra" titles.   Without getting into issues of macro processing, look at an almost equivalent approach using SASHELP.PRDSALE, comparing MEANS with TABULATE and REPORT. As you can see, ODS NOPROCTITLE does not suppress the second string. cynthia proc sort data=sashelp.prdsale out=prdsale;   by year;   where year = 1993; run; ods listing close;    ods html file='alt_to_means.html'; ods noproctitle;    proc means data=prdsale nonobs sum mean;  title 'Means'; by year; class region quarter prodtype; var actual; run; proc tabulate data=prdsale; title 'Tabulate'; by year; class region quarter prodtype; var actual; table region*quarter*prodtype,       actual*(sum mean); run;     proc report data=prdsale nowd; title 'Report'; by year;   column region quarter prodtype actual actual=actmn;   define region / group;   define quarter / group;   define prodtype / group;   define actual / sum 'Sum';   define actmn / mean 'Mean'; run;   title; ods html close; ...

Try this approach data d1;   infile datalines;   input id money;   seq = _n_; datalines; 1 2 1 2 1 3 1 -3 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 -4 ; run; proc sort data=d1;   by id descending seq; run; data d2;   set d1;   by id;   retain mny 8.;   if first.id then mny= 0;   mny = mny + money;   if mny < 0 then cal_money = 0; else cal_money = mny; * in else, if don't need to accumulate the positive, use money instead of mny;   drop mny; run; proc sort data=d2 out=d3(drop=seq);   by id seq; run; ...

Good point about my look ahead that may not be far enough.  If I wasn't too worried about performance I would just sort descending and use LOCF to get NOCB. data sal;    input no year sal;    cards; 10 2001 100 10 2002 102 11 2001 90 11 2002 12 11 2003 13 23 2002 100 23 2003 112    run; proc summary data=sal nway completetypes;    class no year;    output out=sal2(drop=_type_) idgroup(out(sal)=);    run; data sal3; *LOCF;    update sal2(obs=0) sal2 end=eof;    by no;    output;    run; proc sort data=sal3;    key no;    key year / descending;    run; data sal4; *NOCB;    update sal3(obs=0) sal3;    by no;    output;    run; ...
