Hello,

I am using proc compare to compare to two datasets


  proc compare base=names5yr compare=names  out= compares       run;

The output dataset is compares
and it looks like this

TypeofObservation ObservatioNumber  varname
DIF                              1                     ...
DIF                              2                     ...
DIF                              3                     ....

If I want to create a dataset counting number of rows that varname is
not blank (ie is not ....) how do I do this?

Thank you soo much!
