OPS forgot to add the following:

NOFS
specifies that you are using program mode. In windowing environments,
the GDEVICE windows are the default and you must specify NOFS to start
GDEVICE in program mode

From the SAS V9 online help docs:
DEVICE= System Option


------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

Specifies a terminal device driver for SAS/GRAPH software
Default: none
Valid in: configuration file, SAS invocation, OPTIONS statement, OPTIONS
window
Category: Graphics: GRAPHICS
OS/390 specifics: device-driver-name

To see a list of available device drivers, use the GDEVICE procedure. If
you are in the windowing environment, submit the following statements:

proc gdevice catalog=sashelp.devices;
run;

If you are running in interactive line mode, noninteractive mode, or
batch mode, use the following statements:

proc gdevice catalog=sashelp.devices nofs;
list _all_;
run;



Can't find any specific example or reference to NOFC used with Proc
Report, but would assume it does the above.

Subject: NOFS option in PROC REPORT

Hiya guys,

wandering if you can help. I was going over a paper from the recent
VIEWS 2004 conference in London. In the PROC REPORT document, they use
a bit of code I haven't seen before....
I don't seem to be able to find any relevant info on this.
They use the NOFS option in PROC REPORT statement.
What is NOFS? What does it do?

The code looks like this...

proc report data=views.demog nofs missing headskip headline;
  column('--' treatment age, ('--' n mean median std min max));

  define treatment / group left;
  define age       / analysis;
  define n         / 'n';
  define mean      / 'Mean' f=8.1;
  define std       / 'SD' f=8.2;
  define min       / 'Minimum';
  define max       / 'Maximum';

  break after treament / skip;
  rbreak after / ol summarize;
run;


Thanks in advance.

Suf.
