Changing Row Color With Proc Report

AKNess — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:51:01 GMT

I would like to create a PDF report that has different colored rows based on the value of my variable type. I would like the rows to be green when type='Complete', yellow when type='Planned' and red when type='At Risk'. I have tried running the following compute block:

compute type;

if type='Complete' then call define (_row_,'style','style=[BACKGROUND=lightGREEN]');

if type='Planned' then call define (_row_,'style','style=[BACKGROUND=lightYELLOW]');

if type='At Risk' then call define (_row_,'style','style=[BACKGROUND=lightRED]');

endcomp;

I have used a run statement as well as an ods pdf close statement at the end of the proc report step but when I run this section of my code SAS indicates that Proc Report is still running and will not produce the PDF file. How can I successfully produce this report?

Full code please and log please.

Did you include nowd in the proc report statement as well?

My full code looks like this:

I'm not very familiar with Proc Report and am not sure if I'm using any of the options correctly.

Add the nowd (nowindows) option to your proc report statement. Proc Report can be an interactive procedure, so you want to tell SAS that you want it to be non-interactive.

proc report data=panel_1 nowd;
