Italicize Title Output

missamyyu — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 15:37:18 GMT

Hello,

Below is a macro program that I wrote for class. I am trying to get the TITLE1 for my summary statistic section (PROC MEANS) to output in italics. I can't seem to get it to be italicized when I run it in SAS and when I create a pdf as well. I would love help with how to fix this. Thank you for your time!

ODS PDF FILE = "&CourseRoot/filepath/Test.pdf";
ODS NOPROCTITLE;
%MACRO	HS	(DSNm = , Vbl = , Stats = N MEAN STDDEV,
						 NDec = 1);
						 
TITLE1 "Histogram for '&Vbl.' from Data Set '&DSNm'";
PROC SGPLOT DATA = &DSNm;
	HISTOGRAM	&Vbl;
	RUN;
TITLE;

TITLE1 "Summary Statistics for '&Vbl.' from Data Set '&DSNm'" ITALIC;
PROC MEANS 
		DATA = &DSNm
		MAXDEC = &NDec
		&Stats;
	VAR	&Vbl;
	RUN;
TITLE;

%MEND	HS;

%HS (DSNm = Work.Test, Vbl = WtLb, Stats = Q1 MEDIAN Q3 P90, NDec = 0);

ODS;
ODS PDF CLOSE;

Hello!

It seems that your ITALIC option is out of place. If you place it before yout text string in the title, so that line looks like

TITLE1 ITALIC "Summary Statistics for '&Vbl.' from Data Set '&DSNm.'";

That should work. When you type in ITALlIC, you should see it as a suggested option by SAS, and it should highlight blue.
Hope this works!
