The question was originally posted here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.sas/browse_frm/thread/4356220ede78bec9?lnk=igtc

Since I have updated information so I figure it deserves a new thread.

With help from Tree Frog (http://groups.google.com/groups/profile? enc_user=gu8o6xYAAAAU22r-HHvnGqNjH8TtB_Kqo4cocwWvDVg2RHsu8f1bCg) I managed to run hundreds PHREG procedure in one key touching and SAS would produce single output as following:

SUMMARY INFORMANTION FOR 1 Sample Size = 60 Probability = 0.4 DELTA = 0.5 SEED = 539 09:25 Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Variable Estimate

1 2.29375 2 2.77788 3 3.30085 4 17.81447 5 4.57152 6 17.93637 7 17.85846 8 17.85846 9 17.93092 10 18.01070

^L SUMMARY INFORMANTION FOR 2 Sample Size = 60 Probability = 0.4 DELTA = 0.5 SEED = 259 09:25 Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Variable Estimate

1 1.87794 2 2.73585 3 3.84799 4 3.59480 5 3.79974 6 4.13830 7 17.16902 8 17.17453 9 17.18101 10 3.69323

^L SUMMARY INFORMANTION FOR 3 Sample Size = 60 Probability = 0.4 DELTA = 0.5 SEED = 59 09:25 Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Variable Estimate

1 3.26335 2 3.20653 3 4.71742 4 4.71742 5 3.05631 6 3.45821 7 3.82824 8 4.32400 9 4.35616 10 3.27526

..... ....more output for different combinations of parameters... ....

However I would want output for different seed numbers are merged into one table, i.e., in the following form:

SUMMARY INFORMANTION FOR 1 Sample Size = 60 Probability = 0.4 DELTA = 0.5 09:25 Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Variable Seed539 Seed259 Seed59

1 2.29375 1.87794 3.26335 2 2.77788 2.73585 3.20653 3 3.30085 3.84799 4.71742 4 17.81447 3.59480 4.71742 5 4.57152 3.79974 3.05631 6 17.93637 4.13830 3.45821 7 17.85846 17.16902 3.82824 8 17.85846 17.17453 4.32400 9 17.93092 17.18101 4.35616 10 18.01070 3.69323 3.27526

The SAS code that generates these output are:

%macro myphregmacro(U=,P=,DELTA=,SEED=); ods output ParameterEstimates=myEstimate (keep=Variable Estimate); %*My SAS code for a single run of PHREG; proc print data=myEstimate; TITLE1' SUMMARY INFORMANTION FOR'; TITLE2"Sample Size = &U Probability = &P DELTA = &DELTA SEED = &SEED"; run; %put &sample &delta &p_c &seed; %mend;

data _null_; array mysamplesize(3) (60 120 180); array myp_c(5) (0.0 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0); array mydelta(7) (0.5 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.0); array myseed(3) (539 259 59); do s=1 to dim(mysamplesize); do p=1 to dim(myp_c); do d=1 to dim(mydelta); do se=1 to dim(myseed); call execute('%MYPHREGMACRO(U='|| mysamplesize(s)||',P='||myp_c(p)||',DELTA='||mydelta(d)||',seed='|| myseed(se)||')'); end; end; end; end; run;

I tried to use method suggested here: http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi31/261-31.pdf to merge Estimate columns for three seed numbers without success. If I do

DATA NEWDATA; SET myEstimate; by Variable; RUN PROC PRINT;

inside the macro (after the TITLE2 statement, I got only result from last seed in data NEWDATA; if I do this data step in just after the first "end;" of the loop, the program even won't run.

How do I merge statistics from a macro generated multiple SAS procedures then? Thanks!

p.s. For the particular project, I have already merged the dataset manually in Excel, it was tedious. I just want to learn the technique in order I want to alter the parameters in the future.
