ODS Object

Hello,

Do you know how to change a style in Line Methode please?
I would like to have the blue line with obj.line(). I changed a size (with option size: 1 mm), but I don’t know how to change a color.

Thank you for your help
Best regards,
Marie

Please show a more complete example of the code you are using or attempting.

Often a single line of code interacts with other bits and we need to see a bit more to provide a better answer. Best is to provide code of an entire data step or procedure. Copy the code from the editor and paste it into a code box opened on the forum with either the </> or "running man" icons that appear at the top of the message window. Please be aware that the main message windows will reformat text and sometimes make code extremely hard to read and occasionally insert artifacts that will make the code fail.

I have never seen this, but I was trying to do just what this says it does weeks ago. Thanks, and good luck

Hi @SASdevAnneMarie

Maybe something like this?

data _null_;
	if _n_=1 then do;
		dcl odsout obj();
		obj.line(size:"1", style_attr: "bordercolor=blue");
	end;
run;

Best,

This might help, I'm learning this with you.

This object is used with a particular environment which is demonstrated here. I still haven't tried to add the line function yet...

Got it to work

filename rwiOut "C:\Users\::REDACTED::";
ods html close;
ods html path=rwiOut file="UnformatText.html" style=Festival;


title "Using the DATA Argument";
data _null_;
dcl odsout obj();
   obj.format_text(data: "This text is displayed with the FORMAT_TEXT method."); 
   obj.note(data: "This text is displayed with the NOTE method.");
   obj.line(size:"1", style_attr: "bordercolor=blue");
run;

I couldn't get it to work with my default ODS style. The ability to create HRs, horizontal rules, maybe dependent on the style you use.
