V6-REPORT-G591 *** ALERT NOTE *** PRODUCT: BASE
TITLE: Multiple statistics w/alias under analysis variable may be incorrect
KEYS: KEYS: STATISTICS ALIAS COMPUTED ANALYSIS INCORRECT WRONG PROC REPORT
If more than one statistic with an alias is specified under an analysis
variable and there is a computed variable to the right on the column
statement, the reported statistics will be equal to the first stated
statistic value. For example:
COL analysis,(statistic1=alias1...statisticN=aliasN) computed
OR COL analysis,statistic1=alias1 analysisN,statisticN=aliasN computed
There are 2 possible workarounds.
1) state the analysis variable and the alias separately on the column
statement and then use the define statement to specify the statistic
For example: COL analysis1=a1 analysisN=aN computed;
Define a1 / statistic; Define aN / statistic;
2) use the NOALIAS option on the PROC REPORT statement. NOTE: if the
NOALIAS option is used then any reference to the alias in a compute
block will need to use analysis.statistic form (not the alias name)
