How can I get PROC REPORT in SAS to show values in an ACROSS variable that have no observations?

Question

Using PROC REPORT in SAS, if a certain ACROSS variable has 5 different value possibilities (for example, 1 2 3 4 5), but in my data set there are no observations where that variable is equal to, say, 5, how can I get the report to show the column for 5 and display 0 for the # of observations having that value?

Currently my PROC REPORT output is just not displaying those value columns that have no observations.

When push comes to shove, you can do some hacks like this. Notice that there are no missing on SEX variable of the SASHELP.CLASS:

proc format;
  value $sex 'F' = 'female' 'M' = 'male' 'X' = 'other';
run;

options missing=0;
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd ;
  column age sex;
  define age/ group;
  define sex/ across format=$sex. preloadfmt;
run;
options missing=.;
/*
                  Sex
    Age  female  male    other
     11       1       1       0
     12       2       3       0
     13       2       1       0
     14       2       2       0
     15       2       2       0
     16       0       1       0
