The FORMS Procedure

FREQ Statement

Treats observations as if they appear multiple times in the input data set.

FREQ variable;

variable

specifies a numeric variable whose value represents the frequency of each observation. If you use the FREQ statement, the procedure assumes that each observation in the input data set represents n observations, where n is the value of variable. If n is not an integer, the SAS System truncates it. If n is less than 1 (which includes missing), the procedure does not use that observation.

The sum of the frequency variable represents the total number of observations.
