The ORDER= option can take the following values: Specifies the order of the variable levels in the frequency and crosstabulation tables, which you request in the TABLES statement. ORDER= DATA | FORMATTED | FREQ | INTERNAL It suppresses display of the crosstabulation tables but allows display of the requested statistics. Note: A NOPRINT option is also available in the TABLES statement. For more information, see Chapter 20: Using the Output Delivery System in SAS/STAT User's Guide. Note that the NOPRINT option temporarily disables the Outputĭelivery System (ODS).

The section Output Data Sets for information about the output data sets produced by PROC FREQ. You can use the NOPRINT option when you only want to create an output data set. PROC FREQ determines the variable levels from the formatted variable values, as described in the section Grouping with Formats. See the section Number of Variable Levels Table for details. See the CALENDAR, PLOT, and TABULATE procedures in theīase SAS Procedures Guide for more information about form characters.ĭisplays the “ Number of Variable Levels” table, which provides the number of levels for each variable named in the TABLES statements. For information about which hexadecimal codes to use for which characters, see the documentation If you use hexadecimal characters, you must put an x after the closing quote. In formchar-string, including hexadecimal characters. Specifying all blanks for formchar-string produces crosstabulation tables with no outlines or dividers-for example, FORMCHAR(1,2,7)=' '. Therefore, the proper specification for PROC FREQ is FORMCHAR(1,2,7)= The first, second, and seventh formatting characters. The FORMCHAR= option can specify 20 different SAS formatting characters used to display output however, PROC FREQ uses only Intersections of vertical and horizontal separators
