ODS HTML line statement not appearing in output

FrankE — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:09:33 GMT

Hi all,

I'm using proc report with ods HTML to output a sample report. At each break of the grouped variable (age) I'd like to write out a line ('TestLine'). The program runs clean but the line never appears. I inspected the resulting html in a text editor and verified that the text of the added line is not in the file. Any ideas what I'm missing?

data class;

set sashelp.class;

run;

ods listing close;

ods html file="c:\temp\test.html";

proc report data=class nowindows;

column age name;

define age / group;

define name / display;

break after age/;

compute after age;

line 'TestLine';

endcomp;

run;

ods _all_ close;

Interesting! When I ran your code the line was there.

Hi:

Are you by any chance using this in a stored process? The SASReport XML that is generated for some client applications of the BI Platform does not render the LINE statement output.

I open 3 pane SAS, paste in the exact code above and click submitt. See the attched image as the output I get. Any idea what might be going on here? The lines appear perfectly when outputting to PDF and XLS, but nothing for HTML. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi:

Did someone change the STYLES.DEFAULT style template???? I do not observe the same behavior -- see the screenshot -- I tested 2 different styles in SAS 9.3 -- using your code with my TITLE statement added. I would suggest that you open a track with Tech Support.

Yeah, that's got to be it. I tried the same code on a different PC and it worked fine. Thanks for your help!
