After reading in the data with a data step, it is usually a good idea to print the first few cases of your dataset to check
that things were read correctly.

PROC PRINT DATA=cars1(obs=5);
RUN

Here is the output produced by the proc print statement above.

The REPORT procedure also has many options that can be used. Some of the most often used options are:
DATA= specifies the dataset to be processed,
PROMPT invokes the prompting mode, sort of like a wizard
NOWINDOWS suppresses the REPORT window and directs the report to the output window
REPORT = specifies a stored report to be used in generating a new report
OUTREPT= names a location to store the report
OUT= creates a SAS data set
HEADLINE creates a horizontal line between the column headers and the body of the report
HEADSKIP creates a blank line between the column headers and the body of the report

GROUP - puts observations into categories

DISPLAY - displays values for each observation
ANALYSIS - contributes values to a calculation or statistic
ORDER - defines the order of the report rows
ACROSS - creates columns for each of its values
COMPUTED - its values are created in a COMPUTE block.

Data set one Data set two

ID A B ID C

10 1 2 10 0
20 3 4 20 5
30 5 6 30 7

This data step does a merge of data set one and two by ID:
