Hello,

obviously my last posting was wrapped up a little bit. So here we go again.

I have an output produced with the help of proc report, whereby the proc report is embedded in a macro. The output of Total is produced by using retain and counting the numbers belonging to every group.

The proc report statement looks like this:

Proc report headline headskip panels=99 pspace=8 nowd; column var1 var2 var3 var4;

define var1/group noprint; define var2/width=30 'Group' flow; define var3 /width=10 'N'; define var4/width=10 '%';

break after var1/skip suppress;

I get an output like this (on one page):

Group N % Group N %

Group 1 - H 2 40 - A 4 40 - I 1 20 - B 4 40 ______ - C 2 20 Total 5 100 _____ Total 10 100 Group 3

Group 2 - D 8 40 - E 8 40 - G 4 20 ______ Total 20 100

Group 3 - G 2 40

But I would like to have an output where everything that belongs to the group is written on the same column resp. the same page. I would like to have an output, which looks more like this:

Group N % Group N %

Group 1 Group 3 - A 4 40 - G 2 40 - B 4 40 - H 2 40 - C 2 20 - I 1 20 _____ _______ Total 10 100 Total 5 100

Group 2 - D 8 40 - E 8 40 - F 4 20 _______ Total 20 100

Maybe somebody has an idea how this can be done with proc report.

P.S.: I hope this time it looks better. By the way thanks to everyone who informed me that my posting got muddled up.
