Mark,

Why not use ODS?

data set1a;
set set1;
age=input(mds_age,4.);
run;

ods output  Quantiles= Quantiles;
proc univariate data=set1a;
var age;
run;

data Quantiles2;
set Quantiles;
informat description $20.;
where quantile='25% Q1';
description='Description 1';
keep description estimate;
run;

-Mary

Hi All,

In proc univariate, if I only specify one percentile
in the PCTLPTS,  e.g.  PCTLPTS=25, the proc
still says you are required to provide PCTLPRE
prefix names.

Is there a way to not have to give prefixes when
there is only one percentile?     i.e. It would be
extremely helpful if I could do one percentile and
just have the results go back into the same incoming
variable names.  Goal: end up with same variable
names so  can append these rows.

Any tricks or methods to have resulting variables
be the same?

(yeah, yeah, I know the doc says it is required.
 But SAS-L is good for getting beyond the doc
 sometimes.......)
