The manual discusses creation of output datasets using the /OUT= option on a
table request.  There are cryptic references to the handy feature that FREQ
will only create one output dataset in one PROC, and only of the last table
requested.  You may find either PROC MEANS or PROC SUMMARY is more useful.
