ODS RTF: Add a line in a table

deleted_user — Mon, 21 May 2007 13:22:05 GMT

Dear all,

I have a table to print and I have to put a line between two specified rows of my table.
How can I do that (maybe using RTF control words?)?

Many thanks for your help!

Violaine:
You can use a LINE statement within a COMPUTE block, however, the LINE statement can only execute BEFORE or AFTER a group:
[pre]
ods rtf file='c:\temp\showline.rtf';
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd;
column sex name age height;
define sex /group;
define name / order;
define age /mean;
define height/mean;
compute after sex;
line 'End of This Group';
endcomp;
break after sex/ summarize;
run;
ods rtf close;
[/pre]
So it would be hard to insert a break after any two girls, for example, or any two boys.

For more ideas on this problem, you might consider contacting Tech Support.

Good luck, cynthia

Hi Both

You can attach the control words (e.g \brdrb\brdrs\brdrw15) to each of the variable value
for this. But this will still give you a gap between the cells (ie your line will not be continous)

Again this can be done via post-poressing your RTF file.
