Dear Saslers,

I'm working with SAS v8.1 and SYBASE as Database,
I just wanted to do a simple proc freq, but the results are "not complet" !
I don't have values for my second variable : (see following SAS code and output)

proc freq data=tmp.mailb3;  
   tables prnr*shp_art_cnt;
run;

prnr      shp_art_cnt(shp_art_cnt)

               Frequency'
               Percent  '
               Row Pct  '
               Col Pct  '        '        '        '        '        '  Total
               ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ
               5801     '     15 '      1 '      1 '     98 '     56 '    171
                        '   6.22 '   0.41 '   0.41 '  40.66 '  23.24 '  70.95
                        '   8.77 '   0.58 '   0.58 '  57.31 '  32.75 '
                        '  88.24 ' 100.00 '   2.78 '  83.05 '  81.16 '
               ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ
               6701     '      2 '      0 '     35 '     20 '     13 '     70
                        '   0.83 '   0.00 '  14.52 '   8.30 '   5.39 '  29.05
                        '   2.86 '   0.00 '  50.00 '  28.57 '  18.57 '
                        '  11.76 '   0.00 '  97.22 '  16.95 '  18.84 '
               ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ
               Total          17        1       36      118       69      241
                            7.05     0.41    14.94    48.96    28.63   100.00

So I tried in the other way and everything is OK : (see following SAS code and output)

proc freq data=tmp.mailb3;  
   tables shp_art_cnt*prnr;
run;

shp_art_cnt(shp_art_cnt)
                                       prnr

                             Frequency'
                             Percent  '
                             Row Pct  '

                                      '  88.24 '  11.76 '

                                      ' 100.00 '   0.00 '
                                      '   0.58 '   0.00 '
                             ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒˆ

                             Total         171       70      241
                                         70.95    29.05   100.00


Did somebody already have something like that ?
Do you think it's because my second variable hat more than 8 characters ?

Thanks for help
