Summary of Variables in a Dataset

Show all headers | View raw

Hello all,

When i get my hands on a new dataset, I am looking for a very quick way 
to summarize all the variables in it.

For all variable types,I need to see total number of observations, 
number of missing variables, percentiles, and for character variables - 
distribution by major categories.

Is there any macro or some way to do it instead of just doing proc 
contents, or proc means for a subset of variables and etc.

Thanks,

M
