ODS Table Names

The SURVEYMEANS Procedure

ODS Table Names

PROC SURVEYMEANS assigns a name to each table it creates. You can use these names to reference the table when using the Output Delivery System (ODS) to select tables and create output data sets. These names are listed in the following table. For more information on ODS, see Chapter 15, "Using the Output Delivery System."

Table 61.2: ODS Tables Produced in PROC SURVEYMEANS

ODS Table Name	Description	Statement	Option
ClassVarInfo	Class level information	CLASS	default
Statistics	Statistics	PROC	default
StrataInfo	Stratum information	STRATA	LIST
Summary	Data summary	PROC	default

By referring to the names of such tables, you can use the ODS OUTPUT statement to place one or more of these tables in output data sets.

For example, the following statements create an output data set named MyStrata, which contains the "StrataInfo" table, and an output data set named MyStat, which contains the "Statistics" table for the ice cream study discussed in the section "Stratified Sampling".

   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 StrataInfo = MyStrata
                 Statistics = MyStat;                 
   run;
