Mike -

According to the documentation you need to derive the average from the sum
and the count: "Depending on which of the eight statistics are stored, up
to 13 additional statistics can be calculated by SAS/MDDB Server software
at run time, allowing for up to 21 available statistics. The following
table indicates which statistics can be derived and which stored
statistics are required: AVG - N, SUM (However, if a WEIGHT is specified,
then SUMWGT and SUM are required instead.)"
