Hi Jules, This is a good suggestion because seperate views created with SAS's Proc SQl for each of the 5 years would not take up much space. But I think one really needs to know how much longitudinal data is involved as to whether it would be better to have all five years in one table or seperate tables for each year. If its massive amounts then by all means seperate it by year or even 6 month intervals. While doing report writing, I've found that one can only get about 6 months worth of counts, percents and some stats on longitudinal data on one page.
