The following PROC SQL
step does not specify the FLOW option. Notice that in the output the
name and values for the column ZipCode appear under the name and values
for the column FFID due to the wide character columns.
proc sql inobs=5;
select ffid, membertype, name, address, city,
state, zipcode
from sasuser.frequentflyers
order by pointsused;
Specifying
flow=10
15
causes the text within each character column to float
between 10 and 15 spaces, which prevents the ZipCode column from wrapping
underneath the FFID column.
proc sql inobs=5 flow=10 15;
select ffid, membertype, name, address, city,
state, zipcode
from sasuser.frequentflyers
order by pointsused;
