can i enlarge unicode characters in ods pdf proc report

A little help please --- The environ is ODS PDF, PROC REPORT, WIN10, SAS 9.4

I successfully define and use a format for NE and SE arrows that visually describe a trend (up or down).

PROC FORMAT;
    value $arrow 
        'NE' = '^{unicode 2197}' 
        'SE' = '^{unicode 2198}'
      other = ' '                               ;

I successfully color code the arrows conditionally with a call define.

if  orig_var in('pct_OCCUP'     'pct_MCAID_occ'     )                    
                  then call define(_col_,"style","style={color=darkgreen font_weight=EXTRA_BOLD}");

The question is - how can I enlarge or make bolder the Unicode character? I have found some other arrows in the Unicode library, but they do not display as expected. The FONT_WEIGHT= or FONT_SIZE= attribute does not have any effect. I simply need it to be larger / more visible in the printed tabular report.

Thoughts?

did you try fontsize=xxpt instead of font_size=xxpt

yes, FONTSIZE= does enlarge the font, but it increases the default cell height which which is not desired. thanks for the thought. -craig

Could you please try to control the cell height for the column using the style(header)={cellheight=1.5in}
style(column)={cellheight=1.5in} in the define statement of that specific variable.

e.g.

define orig_var / style(header)={cellheight=1.5in} style(column)={cellheight=1.5in} ;

Jag -- this does not seem to help … if the cell height does not have room for the FONTSIZE value then the height seems to override the fontsize. -craig

Make page size be smaller ?

options papersize=(10cm 10cm);

Not sure what changing the paper size would accomplish besides the obvious. I believe you are saying that all of the exhibits will shrink but the Unicode character will stay the same size. thanks for the thought. -craig
