proc report column width with ods pdf

deleted_user — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 23:24:36 GMT

I am trying to create a PDF using a pretty simple proc report statement. My issue is that while I can change the width of the columns on the proc report viewer, the width of the columns never changes on the resulting PDF. That is, I always end up with skinny columns in my PDF file no matter what I set the column widths to.

I assume that it is something to do with ODS - is there something I should be including in my ODS PDF statement?

My code:

ods pdf file="P:\delete_me.pdf" notoc;

proc report data=rollup headline headskip nowindows;
title 'HMR Report';

column name ('HMR for Mammogram' mam_pct mam_denom)
('HMR for Pap Test' pap_pct pap_denom);
define name / order 'Clinician Name';
define mam_pct / display 'Remind Order Placed at Visit (%)' width=20 format=percent10.1;
define mam_denom / display 'n' width=20;
define pap_pct / display 'Remind Order Placed at Visit (%)' format=percent10.1;
define pap_denom / display 'n';
run;

ods pdf close;

The WIDTH option only controls the width of columns in monospace (listing, Report Window) output. To control the width of a column in PDF output (and HTML and RTF output), use the STYLE option and specify a value for the WIDTH style attribute.
