!
! Use the ALPHA option in PROC CORR:
!
!  PROC CORR ALPHA;
!     VAR var_list;
!
! This will produce coefficient alpha for each variable in the list
! against each of the remaining variables.
!
! You can also do it yourself using PROC MEANS and a short data step.
! An example of a test with 10 items (k=10) and a total raw score (RAW)
! is given below:
!
!   PROC MEANS NOPRINT DATA=SCORE;
!                             VAR   S1- S10   RAW;
!        OUTPUT OUT= VAROUT   VAR= VS1-VS10  VRAW;
!   DATA _NULL_;
!        FILE PRINT;
!        SET VAROUT;
!        SUMVAR = SUM (OF VS1-VS10);
!        ALPHA = (10/9)*(1-SUMVAR/VRAW);
!        PUT ALPHA=;
!   RUN;
!
! Where, in the alpha formula, the first factor is k/(k-1).
!
! Hope this is of some help.
