Thank you for the formatting suggestions.  However the problem is not what goes
into the file.  The problem is that the output file is never created at all,
neither as a TEMP nor PERM.  If I remove the SUMMARY option from the REPORT
statement and remove the SET SUBFILE statement then the output goes to the
terminal and what I see there is what I expect to go into the subfile.  When I
change back to REPORT SUMMARY and SET SUBFILE then there is no output.

My question has to do with what is happening that is preventing the subfile
from being created.
