The SAS System was used to program an algorithm designed to construct pairwise multiple comparisons among proportions. The statistical method is attributable to Levy and is based on a procedure described by Spjøtvoll and Stoline, which is an extension of Tukey's T-method. This SAS program can accommodate applications involving unequal sample sizes for a set of k independent sample proportions.
