Answer / sunny

Data _null_ is also used to produce complex reports which cannot be customized in proc report.Proc doesnt allow us to use if statements where in data null we can use if statements to get the desired output.For example if you want multiple sub totals or if you want to print footnote only at the end of a page break.This is useful specially for pdf reports.
