The document discusses how to generate frequency tables in SAS using the FREQ procedure. It explains that PROC FREQ produces frequency counts of variable values in a dataset and that the TABLES statement can be used to specify which variables to include. It provides examples of one-way, two-way, and cross tabular frequency tables and the PROC FREQ syntax to generate each type.
