But it appears if there is a numeric variable, the numeric variable
trumps the character variable and ignores the character variable. So
this solely works if you have only a character dataset, not a mixed
one. And I didn't test for multiple character variables
data temp;
set sashelp.class;
keep sex age;
run;
proc means data=temp;
run;
The MEANS Procedure
Analysis Variable : Age
N Mean Std Dev
