[bit.listserv.sas-l] PROC TABULATE

AHMED@PANAM.BITNET (Zulfi Ahmed, Tr. & Supp. Specialist) (02/10/90)

I would like to thank SAS-lers for their prompt replies to my PROC
TABULATE query; I used the solution recommended by Cindy Walawander:
I would also like to thank Howard Schrier to send to me a solution, and
pointing out that there is a SAS manual that deals specifically with
PROC TABULATE.  I only wish that PROC TABULATE was more clearly written
in the SAS basics manual.

Don't we all wish the same thing about all the SAS manuals

Producing a listing file from Proc Tabulate without the lines and bars
is sometimes sufficient depending on how the table will be re-used.
Lotus, Quattro, and other spreadsheets seem to deal with such files
(i.e., text labels and numbers) quite nicely.
