Thank you very much.  I did two things here.  First I eliminated all
duplicate records from the data set.  Then, most importantly, I added the
MISSING option to the PROC REPORT stmt.  And, bada-bing, it worked!

Time is of the essence here so the timely response of everyone is sincerely
appreciated.

Jules

I sometimes forget about that one - typing MISSING in procs REPORT,
SUMMARY, and TABULATE is so automatic for me - I think it's worked its
way into my reflexes - that it doesn't occur to me that there are people
who don't do it.

In addition, if you have any ORDER or GROUP variables with missing
values, they will not appear unless you use the MISSING option on the
proc statement.

Without seeing the code it's difficul to say, but possibly it's
summarizing some records for you. Do you have any GROUP variables? Do
you have any numeric variables whose usage is not specified as
DISPLAY?

Can anyone guess why PROC REPORT would print only 10 records (one
page's
worth) from a 43-record SAS data set? The OBS option is set to MAX and
the
SASlog says "There were 43 observations read..." Any suggestions would
be
greatly appreciated at this late date.
