Answer / bharath
proc means:It will give descreptive statitstics.
By default it will give output in output window.
limited statistics will give like n,mean,median,min and max.
If we need additional statistics we need to add options.
Proc summary:same thing but it will not give output as
default.we need give an option print then only it will give
the output.

Answer / kumaraswamy madoori
1) Proc Means generate a default output but Proc Summary
require Print option to generate output similar to proc
means.
2) To get similar outputs Proc summary should compulsory
have atleast one variable in VAR statement.
If you want a proof for the above please run the below code:
proc means data=sasuser.admit;
run;
proc summary data=sasuser.admit print;
run;
The outputs will be different.

THE PROC SUMMARY: IN THIS CASE THE PROC SUMMARY OMIT THE VAR AND OUT WINDOW,
IN THIS CASE WE CAN GET THE ONLY 'N' OBS.
THE PROC MEANS: WE CAN GET THE OUTPUT RESULT IN OUT WINDOW
AND IF WE WANT TO STATISTICAL INFORMATION AS PER YOUR WISE
N,MEAN,MAX,MIN,STD LIKE
