Hi, Carol.
Yes, PROC MEANS and PROC SUMMARY have basically the same functionality but
differ in their default behavior.
From the SAS 8 online documentation (http://v8doc.sas.com/sashtml/):
"The SUMMARY procedure is very similar to the MEANS procedure. Except for
the differences discussed in the following section, all the information in
The MEANS Procedure also applies to PROC SUMMARY.
"PROC SUMMARY Statement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
"PRINT | NOPRINT
specifies whether PROC SUMMARY displays the descriptive statistics. By
default, PROC SUMMARY produces no display output, but PROC MEANS does
produce display output. Default: NOPRINT
"VAR Statement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
"Identifies the analysis variables and their order in the results.
Default: If you omit the VAR statement, PROC SUMMARY produces a simple
count of observations, whereas PROC MEANS tries to analyze all the numeric
variables that are not listed in the other statements."
