Line statement in compute bloc

Ethen — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 17:23:06 GMT

Hi everyone!

I have the following code and it works fine, except that I like to be able to format the value in the Csal, Cuni and Csalt variables, such as making the font color or back ground color of the values in the Csal, Cuni and Csalt variables different than the texts preceding them.

I appreciate any help you could provide!

compute after / style=Header{just=l fontweight=bold fontsize=14pt};
region = 'All Regions';
Csal = left(put(salesmn,dollar10.));
Cuni = left(put(unit_pricemn,dollar10.));
Csalt = left(put(sales_taxmn,dollar10.));
line "^{style[textdecoration=underline]Averages for These Regions}";
line "Sales: " Csal $varying50.;
line "Unit Price: " Cuni $varying50.;
line "Sales Tax: " Csalt $varying50.;
endcomp;
run;

Ethen,

You call define with foreground= or background=

Check this out:

proc format;
value $stat 'Normal'='green'
'Underweight'='orange'
'Overweight'='red';
run;
proc report data=sashelp.heart;
column bp_status weight_status ageatstart;
define bp_status /group ;
define weight_status /group;
define ageatstart/mean format=8.2;
compute weight_status;
call define(_col_,'style','style={foreground=$stat.}');
endcomp;
run;

Hi:

If you want to change the font color of text in a LINE statement, you have limited choices. Either you change the color of the WHOLE string or you use ODS ESCAPECHAR, as shown below:

If you want to use the normal RBREAK statement and a CALL DEFINE, then you can change foreground color and background color, to produce this:

using this code:

Hope this helps,

Cynthia

HI Suryakiran!

Thank you! I appreciate your time very much!

Your codes worked, but they applied the styles to the values in the column and not the line statement.

Thanks!

Mark,
