The REPORT Procedure

REPORT

Is the surface on which the report appears.

Path
Use WINDOWS or PROMPT in the PROC REPORT statement.

Description
You cannot write directly in any part of the REPORT window except column headers. To change other aspects of the report, you select a report item as the target of the next command and issue the command. To select an item, use a mouse or cursor keys to position the cursor over it. Then click the mouse button or press RETURN. To execute a command, make a selection from the menu bar at the top of the REPORT window. PROC REPORT displays the effect of a command immediately unless the DEFER option is on.

Note: Issuing the END command in the REPORT window returns you to the previous report definition with the current data. If there is no previous report definition, END closes the REPORT window. [cautionend]
