What exactly is the difference between Proc Means and Proc Summary? Many sites state that both these are the same, but unless each has something unique will SAS create it?

@cmjohns gives the biggest difference…and from SAS discussion forum
‘In earlier versions of SAS (SAS 5 and 6) PROC MEANS and PROC SUMMARY were separate procedures. Over time, by version 8, the code for the 2 procedures was standardized and ‘melded’ together. There are essentially no differences except that MEANS creates output in the LISTING window or other open destinations, while SUMMARY creates an output dataset by default.’ (use the PRINT option in the Proc Summary statement to generate output)
