Adding a superscript number to a column heading in proc report

Echo___ — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 15:29:07 GMT

This is what I want and this is my code which does not work.

proc printto new file="&outdir./&pgm..lst";

run;

proc report data=final nowd missing headskip headline split='@' formchar(2)='_' out=test;

column ("&tblline" expdur expdurc npct ptime);

define expdur / display noprint;

define expdurc / display 'Duration of exposure(*ESC*){super a}' width=26;

define npct / display 'Persons@n (%)' center width=15;

define ptime / display "Person time*{super b}" center width=15;

compute after _page_;

line @1 &stndrdls*'_';

line @1 "Abbreviations: NA=not applicable.";

line @1 "a Months defined in 30-day intervals (eg, 3 months=90 days).";

line @1 "b Person time=patient years of exposure (total exposure in days/360).";

line @1 "%=100 x n/Total, within each category.";

line @1 "Study included: D5985C00003.";

endcomp;

run;

proc printto print=print;

run;

Works for output to PDF, EXCEL and HTML. Does not work for output to .LST. I didn't try ODS RTF.

Are you expecting to see superscript in a LST file? Pretty sure Proc Printto only generates basic text for output directed to the listing destination which means all the ODS options like text color, background color, superscripts or subscripts are ignored.

Super script 2 is hex 'B2'x on extended ASCII table.
