Answer / ramdwh
The Report procedure enables a user to create:
 listing reports
 summary reports
 enhance reports
 request separate subtotals and grand totals
 generate reports in an interactive point-and-click
or programming environments.
Note:
By default, the default listing displays
 each data value as it is stored in the data set,
or formatted value if a format is stored with the data
 variable names or labels as report column headings
 a default width for the report columns
 character values left-justified
 numeric values right-justified
 observations in the order in which they are stored
in the data set.
FORMAT Procedure enables SAS to define custom formats
(character/numeric) and can also apply the format to a
specific variable(s) by using a FORMAT statement.
