Subject:      Question about Compute _before_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi All:

            In my proc report, I need to list all patients by treatment
group. That is to say, on any single page I can have only patients from
say Treatment Group A.

I have the following dataset  and code and am trying to generate a
report:



 data x;
        input trtn $2. subjid $4. lvtdt $9.;
        cards;
A 001 01MAY2005
A 002 02JUN2005
B 003 02MAY2005
B 050 02JUN2005
        ;
run;


proc sort data=x;
        by trtn subjid lvtdt;
run;

proc report data=x nowd split='|';
        columns trtn subjid lvtdt;

        compute before _page_ / left;
      line "Treatment Group: " trtn $2.;
        endcomp;
        define trtn             /'Treatment' group noprint;
        define subjid   /'Subject'   order order=internal;
        define lvtdt    /'Last Date|of Visit' order order=internal;
run;



I must be missing something because what I am getting is a listing of
all patients in the study with treatment group not being shown at all.
Do I need to do anything before the proc report (I have sorted my
dataset by all variables present in the columns statement in the same
order)..

Any assistance is always appreciated.

TIA
