SUMMARY Procedure
VAR Statement
Identifies the analysis variables and
their order in the results.
| Default: | If you omit the VAR statement, then PROC SUMMARY produces a simple count of observations, whereas PROC MEANS tries to analyze all the numeric variables that are not listed in the other statements. |
| Interaction: | If you specify statistics in the PROC SUMMARY statement and the VAR statement is omitted, then PROC SUMMARY stops processing and an error message is written to the SAS log. |
| Note: | See the VAR Statement in PROC MEANS for a full description of the VAR statement. |
| See: | For complete syntax, see VAR Statement. |
