Shawn, You should take a look at the description of the MAXPRINT option in the SAS Procedures Guide. It describes the different uses of the MAXPRINT option. The suggestion given by Steve Griffiths is correct, but it limits you to 250. If you read the manual, you can issue the ALLOBS command which will give you a maximum of 3200 differences overall and a maximum of 1000 differences for any one BY group. It all depends on how much information you are looking to get out of the COMPARE. FYI, I am using SAS Proc Guide, V. 6, third edition (page 169).
