proc freq v.s. proc sql

sasuser.sale2000 has variable origin and dest, if we want to list the unique combination of these two variables, we can use proc sql; select distinct ... Another method is using proc freq. It not only gives the no duplicated combination, but also sorts the result by the tables variables. The sas code is:


options formdlim='-' ;
proc sql;
    create table sqlrst as
    select distinct origin, dest
      from sasuser.sale2000
      order by origin, dest;
quit;

proc print data=sqlrst width=min;
run;



proc freq data=sasuser.sale2000 noprint;
    tables origin*dest / list out=freq1;
run;

proc print data=freq1(drop=count percent) width=min;
run;
