uhm...i tried to experimenting your code, but i was not able to get it
working. the output i need is similar to the one i would have using
this statement:

proc means data=BPressure mean min max;
        var Systolic Diastolic;

--- example output ----

 Variable             Mean         Minimum         Maximum

 Systolic      121.2727273      96.0000000     165.0000000
 Diastolic      70.0909091      40.0000000     110.0000000

------------------------------------------

but i need to store it on a dataset and (!!!) i have to use proc
univariate since i need some calculus not available in proc mean.
Perhaps your code is suitable...perhaps i was simply not able to
"tune" it for my needs...
