COMPUTED Variables
define height--weight / display noprint;
define mheight / computed format=6.2 'Height (cm)';
define mweight / computed format=5.2 'Weight (kg)';
compute mheight;
mheight = height * 2.54;
endcomp;
compute mweight;
mweight = weight * 0.4536;
endcomp;

compute before age / style={background=#bcd3ab};
agew = propcase(trim(put(age, words.)));
line agew $8. ' year olds';
endcomp;
compute name;
if sex = 'F' then
call define(_col_, 'url', 'http://test.com/results/girls/' || trim(name) || '.html' );
