Hello all, maybe someone can help me with this.

I have four different datasets that will create a report that I will then Proc Print.

Here's the problem. I want to stack the datasets with a line of dashes so the totals are enclosed with the dashes.

DATA DASHES; AMT1 = '------ '; AMT2 = '------ ';

DATA REPORT1; SET RPT1 TOT1 DASHES RPT2 TOT2 DASHES;

Since the AMT1 and AMT2 in the RPT1 and RPT2 are numberics SAS will not let me mix char and numeric with the same field names.

I know there is a waht to let SAS create the lines during print via SUM but I can't do it that way now. I'm in too deep.

I want it to look like this.

AMT1 AMT2 19.00 20.00 10.00 30.00 ------ ------ 29.00 50.00 ------ ------ Thanks

Steve
