Subject:      proc freq - number of vars I need to cross will vary
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi all, I was wondering if there was an easy way to set up a proc freq
(without using a macro) which crosses a varying number of variables.
Here's the setup to show you what I mean...

I have a dataset which will have a varying number of variables:
techdx_1 techdx_2 techdx_3 . . . techdx_N

The macro variable NUMDX will hold the number N

I want to cross all the techdx variables in a single table in a proc
freq. I tried

proc freq data=mydata;
  tables techdx_1-techdx_&NUMDX;
run;

but this creates a table for each techdx variable.  Remember I need to
do this without writing a macro if possible.
Thanks
