Hi Art:

I tried that but I think that does not have an effect on the means I
calculate using proc report.

I used the proc means portion to have a quick look of what I wanted to print
into a table, then proc report make the means and std calculations, too.
There I have problems controlling the decimals.

Regards,

Joey.
