You bet there is.  From SAS OnlineDoc:

COLUMN Statement

 COLUMN
 column-specification(s);



column-specification(s)
     is one or more of the following:
          report-item(s)
          report-item-1, report-item-2 <. . . , report-item-n>
          (`header-1 ' < . . . `header-n '> report-item(s) )

(`header-1 ' < . . . `header-n '> report-item(s))
          creates one or more headers that span multiple columns.


          header
               is a string of characters that spans one or more columns in
               the report. PROC REPORT prints each header on a separate
               line. You can use split characters in a header to split one
               header over multiple lines. See the discussion of SPLIT= .


               In traditional (monospace) SAS output, if the first and last
               characters of a header are one of the following characters,
               PROC REPORT uses that character to expand the header to fill
               the space over the column or columns:
               :- = \_ .* +


               Similarly, if the first character of a header is < and the
               last character is >, or vice-versa, PROC REPORT expands the
               header to fill the space over the column by repeating the
               first character before the text of the header and the last
               character after it.


          report-item(s)
               specifies the columns to span.

Is there a way to make column headings in proc report such that there is a
sub heading as in the example below, Physical Characteristics having sub
headings of weight and height?


Patient Number     Physical Characteristics
--------------  -------------------------------
                  Height(lb)    Weight (inches)
                  ---------     ---------------
1000                 60             90
2000                 72            180
