Subject:      Solution: PROC REPORT and LINE statement

I solved it - not easy.

compute after g1;
   if yesplease > 0 then do;
      text = 'write a line here';
      noofchar = 17;
   end;
   else do;
      text = '';
      noofchar = 0;
   end;

   line text $varying. noofchar;
endcomp;

Writes a line if noofchar is not zero - otherwise does nothing - at least on
my system.
