Producing Frequency Tables Using PROC FREQ
The FREQ procedure is a descriptive
procedure as well as a statistical procedure. It produces one-way
and n-way frequency tables,
and it concisely describes your data by reporting the distribution
of variable values. You can use the FREQ procedure to create
crosstabulation tables that summarize data for two or more
categorical variables by showing the number of observations for
each combination of variable values.
Procedure Syntax

controlling frequency output. For simplicity, let's consider the
procedure in its basic form.
