Proc Report-Start New Line in Attrib

deleted_user — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:17:45 GMT

Does anyone know how to start a new line in the attrib statement inside a compute block?

Currently I have:

compute rate;
if _c4_ > &hi05 then do;
attrib='style={foreground=red flyover="Count #(2005): ' || _c2_ || '"}';
call define ('_c4_',"style",attrib);
end;

I would like to have something like:
Count #(2005): 10
Lost #(2005): 2

Thanks,
Jason

What version of SAS are you using? What type of output are you creating? HTML? PDF?

Sorry, this isn't possible.

'0D'x appears to be the answer
attrib='style={foreground=red flyover="2005 ' || _c3_ ||'0D'x|| '2006 ' || _c2_ || '"}';
