Answer / paul
same statistics can be produced with both means & tabulate procedures but the difference lies in reporting/presenting the result.
eg: PROC MEANS can assign labels for Variable names but can't assign labels for statistics, whereas PROC TABULATE can assign labels for both variable names and statistics.

Answer / ravi
Proc Means is used for creating reports with
mean,max,min,number of non missing values and lots more but
the statistics fields that I described above are the default

With proc tabulate we can do all work which proc report,proc
mean do with the help of proc tabulate we can have a report
which is more descriptive and can have statistics field too..
