The REPORT Procedure

FREQ Statement

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

Tip: The effects of the FREQ and WEIGHT statements are similar except when calculating degrees of freedom.

FREQ variable;

Required Arguments

variable: specifies a numeric variable whose value represents the frequency of the observation. If you use the FREQ statement, the procedure assumes that each observation 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 or is missing, the procedure does not use that observation to calculate statistics.

Frequency Information Is Not Saved
When you store a report definition, PROC REPORT does not store the FREQ statement.
