which stats created by proc means that are not created by proc summary or vice versa?..

Answer / vivek

PROC SUMMARY displays the descriptive statistics. By
default, PROC SUMMARY produces no display output, but PROC
MEANS does produce display output. So in Proc SUMMARY you
have to give the Print option explicitly.

Also if you exclude Var statement then summary will only
print number of obs. Try this on sashelp.shoes

proc means data = sashelp.shoes;
run;

proc summary data = sashelp.shoes print;
run;

which stats created by proc means that are not created by proc summary or vice versa?..

Answer / emw

I began using SAS in the early 1980's, and Proc Summary was thought to be one of the proc's to be no longer supported by SAS, so many programmer stopped using it! One of the advantages of Proc Summary was it didn't error out if the data set was not sorted, as proc means did. Proc Summary did an internal check, now we can check but in the old days this option wasn't possible. These days, I just use Proc Means don't know why Proc Summary is still being used ...anyone??
