diff format in listing and html using tabulate

whpun — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:08:21 GMT

table var1*var2, var3 is used in proc tabulate
In the listing file, it shows var1 and var2 in 1 column like
AAAAA
111 100
222 200
BBBBB
100 10

But, in HTML output, var1 and var2 are shown in 2 columns
AAAAA 111 100
222 200
BBBBB 100 10

How can I make the HTML output same as in listing output? Thanks

Hi:
Not sure what you're seeing. When I use this code, I get the same output in both the LISTING window and the HTML (viewed in a browser).

[pre]
data class;
set sashelp.class;
var1=sex;
var2 = age;
var3 = height;
run;

ods listing;
ods html file='c:\temp\comptab.html' style=sasweb;
proc tabulate data=class;
class var1 var2;
var var3;
table var1*var2,
var3 ;
run;
ods html close;
[/pre]

I used the following code and the 2 outputs are diff.

ODS HTML FILE=ODSOUT RS=NONE STYLE=SASWEB;
PROC TABULATE DATA=SASHELP.CLASS NOSEPS;
CLASS SEX AGE;
CLASSLEV SEX / S=[JUST=L VJUST=TOP];
CLASSLEV AGE / S=[JUST=L];
VAR HEIGHT;
TABLE SEX=' '*AGE=' ', HEIGHT
/RTS=55 INDENT=5 S=[RULES=NONE BORDERWIDTH=0
JUST=L];

Hi:
NOSEPS and INDENT=5 are LISTING options -- they only work in the LISTING destination or the OUTPUT window. They are basically ignored by other ODS DESTINATIONS (such as HTML). In the documentation:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/proc/61895/HTML/default/a002473736.htm#a003065557

when you see this restriction:
Restriction: The NOSEPS option affects only the traditional SAS monospace output destination.

It means that the option will only work in the LISTING window.

Here's the doc site for the INDENT= option:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/proc/61895/HTML/default/a002473740.htm#a003068110
where it explains that HTML, RTF and PDF will not use INDENT= the same way as LISTING:
Restriction: In the HTML, RTF, and Printer destinations, the INDENT= option suppresses the row headings for class variables but does not indent nested row headings.
