SAS coding used in creating a routine

report

February 23, 2009February is Heart Month

How it all started…

Create a monthly report that includes:

Tables with accompanying text Graphs with accompanying text Background introduction to the report Table of contents Title page

ODS RTF file=‘pathname/filename.rtf’;{SAS statements}ODS RTF close;

ODS RTF to create the output file

How to…?

Format text Insert special characters Format headers and footers Format a table Insert pictures/graphs Call in an R program from SAS

Stress-busting tip for a healthy heart: Laugh. It’s your body’s natural stress-release mechanism

Basic formats in TITLE TITLE and FOOTNOTE have some basic

formats styles available using keywords: Bold Background/Foreground colour Font sizes Font types Text justification Underlining

TITLE justify=r bold color=blue bcolor=red font=arial height=10 underlin=1 ‘put text here!’;

Format keywords in PROC REPORT Similar to TITLE but some keywords differ

PROC REPORT data=notesstyle(header)=[background=STG foreground=white

just=center font_size=9pt font_face='arial' font_weight=bold];column text;define text / style={foreground=black background=yellow cellwidth=10 cm font_size=11pt font_face='arial'};

run;

ODS ESCAPECHAR Define a special character to indicate RTF

elements Choose a character that is not commonly used in SAS

coding

ODS ESCAPECHAR = ‘^’;{SAS coding}DATA notes;length text $32767;text="^R'{\b\i Put text here! }’ ^R'super\1’ ";run;

Put text here! 1

RTF control words

Control word – specially formatted command that RTF uses to mark printer control codes and information

Control Word Function Control Word Function

\i italicize \cfn foreground colour\line new line \b bold\bullet bullet \ql left align\sub subscript \qr right align\super superscript \qc center align

RTF control symbols and groups

Control symbol – backslash followed by a single, non-alphabetic character Example: \~ for non-breaking space

Groups – text and control words or control symbols between braces, {}

Specify style elements

Specify ODS ESCAPECHAR

Basic form:

^S={style attributes}

^S={indent=0.45cm cellwidth=20cm font_face='arial' font_size=11pt}

Adding text into RTF file

TITLE adds text to top of page FOOTNOTE adds text to bottom of page

How about adding text to the middle of the page or blocks of text? ODS RTF TEXT PROC REPORT

ODS RTF TEXT

Add text before/after a PROCedure

ODS RTF TEXT = “Add text here";

Add formatting using STYLE:

ODS RTF TEXT = "^S={} {Add in text here.}";ODS RTF TEXT = "^S={indent=0.45cm cellwidth=20cm font_face='arial' font_size=11pt}{Add in text here.}";

For larger blocks of text PROC REPORT

Basic PROC REPORT

PROC REPORT data=notes;column text;define text / display;

run;

Adding text using PROC REPORT

ODS ESCAPECHAR=‘^’;ODS RTF file=‘pathname/sample.rtf’;PROC REPORT data=notes noheader center nowd;

column text;define text / width=96 flow style={foreground=black background=white cellwidth=17.75cm font_size=11pt font_face='arial'};

run;ODS RTF close;

Creating text in a DATA step

DATA notes;length text $32767;text=“Insert text here”;run;

DATA notes;length text $32767;text=^S={font_weight=bold font_size=14pt

foreground=STG}^R'\qc' Insert centered bolded text here and add a new line ^n ^S={}"||

"^R'\par\ql' Begin a left justified paragraph. "||“Add in more text and then add 2 lines. ^n^n”;run;

Healthy-eating for a healthy heart. Choose fresh fruit over juice.

Special Characters

From START menu:

Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

Copy/Paste symbol into SAS editor

If symbol pastes as ‘?’ then it will not display properly

A truffle a day lowers blood pressure. Choose chocolate with cocoa content of 70% or higher.

Headers & Footers Format text in TITLE and FOOTNOTE using

keywords (ie. bold, bcolor=, underlin=, font=) or in-line formatting

Insert pictures using PREIMAGE JPG, GIF and PNG

Create sections by using the justification format code

just=center(c), left(l), right(r)

Headers & Footers

FOOTNOTE j=r "^S={font=(‘arial’, 12pt, bold) Insert bold text here.}";

TITLE j=l "^S={preimage='W:\Reports\image1.png'}" j=r "^S={preimage='W:\Report\image2.png'}";
