SUDAAN FAQ 
How do I use the test statement in SUDAAN?

You can use the test statement to obtain different types of chi-squared tests.  Please see pages 278-279 of the SUDAAN manual for a description of the tests available in the crosstabs procedure.  The last two tables in the output show the chi-squared tests that are requested on the test statement.  They test the null hypothesis that the variables srsex and racehpra are not related.  The nose option is used on the proc crosstabs statement to suppress the display of the standard errors.  We have done this to make the output more readable.
proc crosstab data=temp1 filetype=sas design = jackknife nose;
weight rakedw0;  
jackwgts rakedw1--rakedw80 / adjjack=1;  
tables srsex*racehpra;
test chisq llchisq cmh;
subgroup srsex racehpra;
levels 2 3;

The test statement can be used in proc regress to produce several kinds of Wald tests.  Please see page 481 of the SUDAAN manual for more details.  Note that proc rlogist does not seem to have a test statement.
