In addition to specifying column widths and spacing, you might want to change column headings. To define a column heading, specify the heading text in quotation marks in the DEFINE statement.

Example

Suppose you want to label Flight as Flight Number, Orig as Flight Origin and Dest as Flight Destination. Add these column headings to the DEFINE statements, being sure to match quotation marks. You can also change the WIDTH= specifications to accommodate the new headings.

     proc report data=flights.europe nowd;
        where dest in ('LON','PAR');
        column flight orig dest mail freight revenue;
        define revenue / format=dollar15.2;
        define flight / width=13 'Flight Number';
        define orig / width=13 spacing=5 'Flight Origin';
        define dest / width=18 spacing=5 'Flight Destination';
     run;
