Create Output Data Set

The SURVEYMEANS Procedure

Create Output Data Set

PROC SURVEYMEANS uses the Output Delivery System (ODS) to create output data sets. This is a departure from older SAS procedures that provide OUTPUT statements for similar functionality. For more information on ODS, see Chapter 15, "Using the Output Delivery System."

For example, to place the "Statistics" table shown in Figure 61.4 in the previous section in an output data set, you use the ODS OUTPUT statement as follows:

   title1 'Analysis of Ice Cream Spending';
   title2 'Stratified Simple Random Sampling Design';
   proc surveymeans data=IceCream total=StudentTotal;
      stratum Grade / list; 
      var Spending Group;
      ods output Statistics=MyStat;
   run;

The statement

   ods output Statistics=MyStat;

requests that the "Statistics" table that appears in Figure 61.4 be placed in a SAS data set named MyStat.

The PRINT procedure displays observations of the data set MyStat:

 
   proc print data=MyStat; 
   run;

Figure 61.4 displays the observations in the data set MyStat.
